    Panniculectomy worth it?

    I’m a week out post op. I can see results already. My insurance paid for it. I was shocked that they would because although I had excess skin it wasn’t to bad. I can definitely see a difference though even through the swelling! My surgeon said that minor fixes can be discussed (ie dog ear and fluid) if need be. I’m 52 years old and my mother in law 79 yes young as well as my sister in law 66 years young are also going to get it! Lol on the meds right now so not sure if I’ve provided a little information/ personal experience to you. I think they have to refer to it this way plus liposuction and muscle repair isn’t included. I want to add that my surgeon went a little bit past my hips and I was like waaaa when I saw this!
  2. My first winter feeling the cold breeze down there lol and the wind almost blows me away now that I’m so much smaller.

    Re: When Did Weighloss Being to Slow Down

    Hello how’s everyone?! Thanks so much for the replies. I’m fluctuating between 140-147 lbs. @bellabloom I started having more snacks lol and I maintain that way. Phinley, I’ve learned can’t eat to heavy of a carb Vfor instance, omg potatoes are so heavy feeling maybe half cup of rice and bread is still like a snake eating a small mouse. I do purée half of any kind of bean soup and that is my “jam” @berry78. I also realize how active I am can never sit still I was that way pre vsg but now is way different. My work requires it too. So I guess that’s affecting my weight too. I hope everyone is doing well!!!

    Thanks for the kindness! I had the surgery Monday and survived it I am now a loser LOL!!! I was able to leave the next day, I was unable to conceptualize "just get your liquids in" versus Protein until I wasn't s fuzzy from those meds. I cannot get Premier Protein down right not and was freaking out about it too! As far as pain the area where the most work was done by my surgeon stings and the rest of my stomach feels like how it did when i was a little chubby gal running too much and too fast so as to catch up with everyone. (TMI) was so worried about the gas which I avoided with all the tips! But it is constipation that's trying to make me get all teary along with a visit from an unexpected aunt Flow it'll be okay tho but not without a fight!

    Did anyone cheat on preop

    It's a terrible CHOICE and I'm ashamed that I am thinking about that heart shaped salami in the freezer I'm serving for our gathering New Years eve. My 19 year old daughter set the bar high she was sleeved 11/14 and has been a perfect saint Lol it's the same choices that got me into this!
