I had a panni while still over 100 pounds overweight before a hip replacement surgery. The healing was a nightmare - months with a wound vac because there was still so much fat there. I would advise against it until you are just removing skin.
I used Dr. M. Elahi..... He works out of Scarborough General ( where it would probably be done if its OHIP funded but also has his own surgical facility in North York. Great work and goes above and beyond to get you OHIP approval. & with a Dr. referral no charge for your consult www.elahiplasticsurgery.com
Good Luck,

Hi! Has anyone been to the Dominican for plastics! I'm looking at Dr. Francisco Rodriguez Rosario. Looks amazing and too good to be true! Thanks!
I am looking for recommendations for surgeons who will do a panni covered by OHIP. I'm not looking for any extra work right now, but my panni is huge and it makes it extremely difficult and embarrassing to try to work out. My doctor is ready to refer me we just need some names of doctors who will do it (and hopefully a good job of it)
Bonus points for being close to Oshawa :)
Thanks!!!!
I had tummy tuck and liposuction 3 weeks ago in Mexico with Dr. Sauceda. I had my PCP on board to see for follow up. I stayed in Mexico for 12 days. I am very satisfied with my experience and highly recommend Dr. Sauceda, if you are willing to go somewhere besides Poland.

Sounds like you have plenty of time to save up for it. I remember desperately wanting a tubal reversal in my early thirties. I had small children at home and was staying home with them, but I wanted it bad enough that I took a job at Wendy's in the evenings after my husband was home and saved every scrap of money coming in to get the reversal done for nearly a year. It was worth every bit of it, as my 2 boys are here because of it! I also decided that I didn't like working at Wendy's. LOL. So I went to nursing school! Where there is a will, there is a way! :)

How long ago was your weight loss surgery? Are you doing what you need to do to lose 100 more pounds or are you hoping the panni will get you motivated? Does the extra skin hinder your mobility?
I would wait until I got to goal, but I don't know your history. Good luck!!

Heidi did you have any success locating a doctor that will do both?
I am searching for doctors that will perform a tubal ligation and TT.
