TMI, embarassing re: TT/Panniculectomy



Recommended Posts

Has anyone who had a panniculectomy/TT also had their FUPA (sorry! Don't know a nice way to describe it) also modified/trimmed up during surgery? Is that done? I haven't had sleeve surgery yet, but I'm expecting there to be extra material there and didn't know if that's considered a separate area to tweak ($$) or if it's pulled tight enough with the TT/panni?

Thanks in advance!

It's pulled tight with the TT/Panni. It's kind of part of the whole surgery from what I understand.

I had a consult with a surgeon who told me that FUPA (or as I call mine, DUPA - Droopy Upper Pubic Area) tightening is included as part of a 360 body lift or a tummy tuck/panniculectomy.

My doctor did a bit of Lipo there and the front area ( which seemed large in my work out pants)was pulled up during my TT.

Ask your surgeon if that is included. I'm thinking it is common to have droopiness after weight loss. I was pleased with the results . Good luck!

Ps. It hurt a bit ( ok a lot)the first week. Just know it gets better quickly as time goes on!

Ok I guess we can say mons as in mons pubis.... That for me was kinda a fat pad that was changed during my TT .

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
