Good luck. Getting approved for panni was easy for me. I'm appealing decision for thighplasty but if not approved I'm not crushed.

How much did you lose? My legs are horrible after 180 pound loss. Do they approve thighplasty? I thought that was cosmetic. It is costly hope you get approved.

A panni is short for paniculectomy. The PS removes the excess skin from the lower tummy area. Not a tummy tuck no muscles involved.

Thanks a lot Gina! I'm still trying to find a surgeon and debating when to take off of work. It's very stressful. I'm starting to relax about it ;I'm leaving it to God now....

My legs are horrible as well like to enjoy the summer with a bathing suit… I'm so glad to be back to my old size. I gained it very rapidly I was only obese for five years. Really 4 since I had the surgery last yr. I can't wait till my boobs are perky again flat stomach etc.
