Mine was quite large also. The surgeon removed 17 1/2 pounds. I will not lie to you - I had problems after the surgery and my recovery was long and painful. My incision opened up and the wound was very large and deep. I had to wear a wound vac for four months. But I truly believe I was the exception, not the rule. My surgeon never recommended a binder which in retrospect I believe would have helped me avoid the incision opening up. I am happy with the final result. I have read that other people have had very easy panni surgeries and I hope yours is easy too.

Yes he did lift it up and somehow made it smaller - maybe liposuction? It looks fine. But boy was it sore for awhile!
