OT: Pannilectomy
I just had one done in Dec. I was off work for 7 weeks, but really felt much better after about 3-4 weeks. The first 2 weeks were definitely uncomfortable and I mainly rested and walked around a little bit. I wasn't released to lift anything till 5 weeks after surgery.
Overall it wasn't a bad recovery, I was sore and tired and had to get over the trauma of major surgery.

I had in March of 2008. I was up and around the night of my surgery. I was off work for 2 weeks and then went back. I work in an office and it wasn't that bad. I had a 3 year old and didn't have much time to rest. It was not near as bad as my RNY. I had open so I thought the panni was a piece of cake actually. Let me know if you have any other questions.

I just had mine done two months ago and had a breast lift done at the same time as well. I was up and moving about that same day and back home the next morning. I was back to work less than a week later and taking care of my 7 month old son soley by myself within 4 or 5 days after my surgery. I had help with me for those first 4 or 5 days and then I sent them all home because I felt like I didn't need them there anymore. There were times I was in pain, but for the most part, it was a cinch. I'd do it again in a second!
