Ok so sorry if tmi but does anybody else have an obese FUPA( fat upper pubic area) I mean my va jay jay might look like a chubby alien I dunno. Oh well it doesn't seem to bother my husband any I just wish I had an attractive vagina not some juhbba the hutt lookin lifeform down there lol. Does anyone know if the skin removal aka panni covers that pubic area too? I plan on making an appointment soon as I'm 3+yrs post op RNY with a baby in between so I'm ready to get rid of this extra skin! Also any tips to help get insurance to cover just a panni? I'm pretty sure mine won't cover arns, breasts or anything else but a panni(and hopefully FUPA is a good start) Thanks in advance!

I believe a lot of surgeons do a mons lift when they do a Tummy Tuck

I don't know about just a panni but if you get a lower body lift (where they do panni, butt lift, etc), most surgeons do include a mons lift.

That is part of a panniculectomy, removing the apron of skin plus it can be a requirement for insurance to cover. My ins. wanted pics that showed the pannis hanging below the pubic area.

And.....not tmi, most people have a pannis after losing a ton of weight

I had an Inverted T Tummy Tuck (fleur de lis) and this was part of that procedure 😊

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
