High weigh panni

I havent lost much weight and the docs and nutritionist feel it is bacause of the anitpsychotics I take. I am on high doses of three of them.

I hate my panni as it hangs below my pubic bone.I also want to lipo on my hips. I have found one dr in TJ willing to take on the case. I was turned down totally by one doc and the other would do the panni but the lipo.

Has anyone in my position looked into this surgery

I have had this surgery...back in 2009 before I had WLS...I hesitated even posting this because I don't really want to influence you one way or the other, but you did ask so I will tell you my experience..usually drs will "stage" the panni based on how low it hangs--mine was in close to the worst stage because it hung down almost to my knees (I have short legs)...it was difficult for me to find a dr to perform the panniculectomy but I did find a surgeon who performed it, and he was an excellent surgeon...I was warned before of the risks, but mine was hanging so low it was affecting my mobility, and I was getting all kinds of serious skin infections...I ended up having complications because I had a massive lymphedema on one side, and I had a lot of necrotized (dead) tissue that had to be removed...I was in the hospital in rehab and such for 3 months and on home health care for another 2 months...I ended up having to have a skin graft over almost my entire abdomen...but I did recover and am much more mobile (even before my recent WLS), and I do not regret I did it...that is my story
