Hello,
Swelling is a normal complication. Weight gain may be caused by some medicines or inactivity. I hope this reply can help you.

Hello,
It is pretty good to think about changing your appearance in order to boost your self-confidence. I believe that you should have a diet that matches your case. Then, you can have any plastic surgery.

Hello,
I think you will be able to travel since you can return to work after neck lift after two weeks.
Congrats! A Go Girl & a raised toilet seat were life savers with my thigh lift. Also, lots of ice packs to help with itching and swelling!
Lots of documentation on all three of our parts. Mine, my PCP, and my surgeon. I had a lot of infections and discoloration going on. Something with my arms but they did not approve those. Will try again after the abdomen and thighs are done.

How did you get the Thighs approved my surgeon said has as yet to see them cover that. I am in CA.
I can't believe that my insurance approved my tummy and thighs the first time! I'll be having surgery in January, any advice?

I know nothing about the coverage in Canada. I just wanted to wish you luck in your appeal.

Panniculectomy denial
Oct 07, 2019
Hello everyone!
It has been sometime since I posted on this website. I had gastric bypass roux-Y in January 2017. I have lost 130 pounds and have maintained the weight loss for the last two years. I look and feel great! The gastric bypass bypass was life-changing for me.
This question is for Canadians covered by OHIP.
I have had a consult with a plastic surgeon. Hesubmitted in all the paperwork for the panniculectomy. Ultimately, I?m going to have a complete abdominal plasty. Pay the difference. The problem is OHIP has denied the authorization to cover cost. My panni hangs half over my mons pubis (mons Venus). I hate how it sits in my lap while on the toilet. I have had rashes/excoriations & odour. I have purchased just about every over the counter sprays and powders to keep the area clean without too much success. I wear compression panties to hold it in but that is ultimately causing irritable bowel from the intestinal compression. I have gone back to see the surgeon. The biggest problem for me is that the Panis doesn?t hang well below the pubis symphysis. We have appealed the decision. I submitted a well written letter to the appeal board. My question is has every anyone ever been denied a panniculectomy and then ultimately the appeal reversed the decision?
I am feeling frustrated!

IN THE END WE ONLY REGRET CHANCES WE DIDN'T TAKE. 
I'm a teacher and had this done at the end of July so I was back to work just after 4 weeks post op. I was swollen and stiff but able to do a lot of teacher tasks, which are quite physical... just couldn't lift much. I got tired easily but was able to keep a normal sleeping schedule after about week 3 (naps all day until week 3). At a desk job, in my opinion, you'd def be ok after 3 weeks at home, maybe even 2. But don't pu**** because it just makes swelling worse!
