Approved For Panniculectomy !!!



Recommended Posts

I am so excited to announce that I FINALLY heard from my insurance company today and they approved my panniculectomy. I have been dealing with these rashes and stuff for over a year now and now am going to be able to have the chance to have a flatter tummy. I am going to have the full abdominoplasty and TT (extra cost) but if I am going to do this I only want to do it once! I am filled with a sense of excitement but also REALLY nervous about going under the knife. I have a choice at either the end of December or the end of January. SO many feelings running through me right now!

Congratulations ! 10 Days ago I had a lower body lift, I was really scared going in. My surgery was extensive as they did the front and back and some work on the sides of my chest. The first days are hard and the one major suggestion is you will need a recliner! If you don't have one than purchase a nice one for Christmas! I slept in this chair for the first 8 nights. A few days after surgery I was in my bedroom to change and went on the bed with pillows as they recommend even with this was really hard to get up.

Also make sure you are in best possible shape prior to surgery, it is not easy but I am already glad that I have done it and still swollen so will be interesting to see the final results.

Take Care

Thanks, Ross. I am in pretty good shape. I work out regularly, even job 5Ks (2 coming up in the next couple weeks). I do, thankfully, have a recliner and a few books I am looking forward to reading. Congrats on your newest accomplishment!

That's awesome! I would love to do that sometime! Do you mind sharing how much you have to pay for the panniculectomy to be expanded to the Tummy Tuck? That is what I would like to do in the future.

It is going to cost an extra $6200 but, from what I read from everyone, it is well worth the money.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
