Question:
CAN I SEE YOUR PANNICULECTOMY PICS?

I JUST HAD MY PICS FOR APPROVAL FOR A PANNICULECTOMY SENT TO THE INS. CO. THIS WEEK. DOC SAYS I'LL LOSE ABOUT 20-25LBS. WHICH WOULD PUT MY AT ABOUT 150 LBS. HE SAYS (YAY). DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY BEFORE PICS. OF THERE PANNI SURGERY WHO ALSO HAD ABOUT 20-25 LBS REMOVED. THANKS    — tracy W. (posted on August 19, 2004)

Congrats on your upcoming surgery! I just had a TT and hernia repair 3wks ago, and they took appx 6 pounds. It is amazing how big a difference just that small amt makes. I wish you well.

Sorry, I don't have any pictures yet. I had my abdominalplasty 10 days ago and I am waiting for the incision to heal enough to take pictures or measurements. I had 8 lbs. of skin removed, but I had been hoping for close to 15 lbs. I am totally amazed at the difference. My stomach is totally flat now, even with all the swelling. My surgeon told me it would take 3 to 6 months for the swelling to go down and for me to see the end result. I came home from the hospital weighing the exact same as I did the morning of surgery, so I know I am swollen and full of the IV fluids. Good luck to you. This is the second best decision I made next to having my WLS.

I don't have any pics to offer you, but take a look at this web site: www.makemeheal.com There is a forum for Abdominoplasty and Tummy Tucks. A lot of people post pictures with their links listed here.

Hi Traci Just clicked on your profile to see your pictures and there aren't any. Disappointing when no pictures are on the profile. Sorry. I had panni and hernia repair 7 mos again and I am very happy! my belly button is really cute and round. Tummy is NOT perfectly flat but it looks like a naturally slightly rounded tummy. 8 lbs was removed from my panni. Good luck!
