Hi everyone Im a 30yr old, just got my panniculectomy approved through Kaiser here in So. Cal. I have a lot of excess skin in the stomach area. I went from weighing as much as 409lbs 3yrs ago to now a 215lbs. Seen my plastic surgeon 1st week of May & yesterday (9/23) i finally got the call to setup up my surgery day. Feeling nervous & anxious all at the same time. Was wondering if anyone has had this procedure performed? and if yes i want to hear hoe the progress is going? Thanks.

This is a great post. I am in the Process of determining if this is what I wanna do but I want to hear how it was and see pics! Hope someone chimes in!

I would like to see and know the same thing. But also is your insurance paying for this?

There are a lot of posts about this so try to search for it and perhaps PM some of the posters. Aussie Girl only recently had it done - I read about it on the Aussie Sleevers thread, but there are thousands of posts in that and it might be hard to find those specific ones. Good luck with it. Must be exciting.

Sorry i was away from this for a while. My day has finally come tomorrow Nov. 21st is my surgery day to get the Panniculectomy done my check in time is at 5:30am (PST) . Anxious & nervous. My insurance will be covering this as well (Kaiser So. Cal) wish me luck. I'll be posting before/after pics soon. recovery time etc.
