No they have not told me anything like that. I know of three women here in my support group here who have had the panniculectomy and breast lift done with no out of pocket exspensives. I know they preform the panniculectomy here at NAS. I have not looked into the breast lift. As to where they do them. Hope I was helpful. Tara

At NAS JAX here in Jacksonville Fl.

Yes. I have a few friends say their partner can feel it. Also had a friend have hers fall out and that is why they tell you to check for the string.

I have Tri-Care prime and having surgery at a military treatment facility they will cover a panniculectomy. The only requirements that I have been told is that they normally will not do it until about 18 months post op. I was told you need to reach goal weight and then maintain for 6 months. Once that happens they will do a panniculectomy and a breast lift. Good luck. Best wishes Tara

I can definitely see the difference. Keep up the good work. Tara

This is one of my biggest fears. I have three children the last one was a surprise baby due to failed birth control. When I say failed birth control I had a tubal ligation after my second child and three years later on Christmas I turn up pregnant. Now I have had my tubes tied again and my husband had a vasectomy but still have fears. I will be talking to my doctor to try and get another form of birth control. Tara

Amazing!! You have such wonderful results in just 2 months. Keep up the good work

Hey Fellow September Sleevers I am having my surgery on Sept 18th. My pre-op diet is 1week of the clear liquid diet so pretty much Water, broth, sf Jello, sf popsicles, crystal light and any proitien powders made with water. Good luck. Tara

We have the same sleeve date. Congrats! As most people have said this site is very helpful. Good luck on your journey. Tara

Congrats !! I know from reading your previous post that was the last test you were worried about. Good luck on getting a surgery date. Tara

Congrats. Will be praying for a speedy recovery. You will be on the losers bench in no time

Good luck! More prayers coming your way. Hope you have a speedy and complication free recovery. Best wishes. Tara

We have a store here called World Market and they sell about 10 different flavors of the Torani syrup. I am here in Fl. So I am not sure if World Market is everywhere or not. Tara
