Today I met with the plastic surgeon i think it went well. Hoping to get approved for a panni. I have to lose 30 more pounds for the thigh lift with lots of Lipo first. Im excited and praying everything works out.

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....

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
