This far after surgery, 50 pounds seems like a lot to ask you to lose. I am sure he is protecting you and himself by asking you to be at a lower weight. I personally think you should get another opinion. Getting rid of the panni would make you feel better and allow for more exercise. Perhaps it could be done in stages, the panni first, then lose 50 pounds and have the other work done.

Not St. Louis, but I highly recommend Dr. Joseph Cannova in Kansas City. I drove 4 hours to have my surgery with him and it was worth it!

I had a panniculectomy Sept 2018. Only a small amount of muscle repair due to a hernia. The muscle spasms like you describe started a few months ago. Yes they feel like a charley horse and they come out of nowhere. Mentioned it to my daughter chorus last week and she was not concerned.

I had my panniculectomy at 198 lbs. I am 5'3" so that is considered an obese BMI. My surgeon cut off 14 lbs. I never realized that weight loss though. 10 months later and I still weigh 200 lbs.
I decided to move forward because my RNY was 12 years ago. I never went below 195. It is like my body is set on hanging out around 200 lbs. I told my surgeon that yes, I would love to lose more, but I use to weigh 407 lbs before RNY, so 200 lbs feels pretty darn light to me even if medical standards still consider me obese!

I had weight loss surgery in 2010 and lost around 90 lbs and for most part still there. that still puts me at 285 and a huge area with my stomach that hangs down. I was looking at getting a panniculectomy even though I know I have more to lose but not sure if I will ever lost more. I saw a surgeon and he gave me pricing for this and a mons lift and abdominoplasty. I scheduled the surgery and just went in for the consult before the surgery and now he is saying he wont do it till I lose 50 more lbs. Was curious if anyone has had this done when still overweight?
Hi folks,
I had a TT 5/18 including muscle tightening. Once I was released I started doing regular ab work as part of my exercise routine. My PS said that he tightened the muscles as much as he could but that 30+ years of being MO/SMO had stretched things out and that I may never be "flat."
After a year, my abs are very strong but my upper abs still bulge somewhat and my lower abs are a little poochy. The problem is that even now I can get ab cramps even when I haven't been working out really hard. Sometimes it's almost like a charley horse. Anybody else have this?
Also just wondering if I can ever get muscle separation/definition.
Any thoughts or experience?

please give your advice as I looking to have surgery next month.
There are quite a few in the GTA, if your ok with the traveling. I used Dr. M.Elahi in North York .He has a private surgical facility but is also a staff surgeon at Scarborough General Hospital. I'm very happy with my results after 110 lb weight loss. There will be no consult fee if you are referred by your Dr.
Good Luck
