Panniculectomy is it as painful to get as it is to pronounce?

Hi,

I'm scheduled for my panniculectomy on December 3rd and a little anxious about the pain.

How much does it actually hurt and for how long?

    I had the panniculectomy 3 weeks ago tomorrow.

    I wanted to die the pain was so bad when they first woke me following surgery but that only lasted until the pain meds kicked in 15 - 20 minutes later. After that there was absolutely no pain! I spent a day in the hospital following surgery and was on a pain pump all day. So, there may have been some but I didn't notice it.

    They removed just less than 7 pounds of fat, skin and my belly button. With the swelling and lack of exercise I weighed the same for 2 weeks as I did the morning before surgery.

    I look and feel better than I have in 25 years.
