sleeve 4 me

Whoo hoo! You inspire me

I am proud of you too girlie!!! You are doing AWESOME!!!!

Congrats!

I just went to google and typed in panniculectomy. Some of the pics of loose skin are incredibly disturbing . The procedure is not pretty like a normal tt at all. If I get the referral I will make sure to find out EXACTLY what it entails and let you know.

Yikes! Thanks for the 411 Tiffykins! I'm not sure I'm going to go this way. My main thing is to fix what's going on downstairs. The OBGYN is the one that said a panni may benefit me first before doing anything else, and Kaiser will cover that 100% but I will find out if they have an option to do a full tummy tuck with the patient paying a portion...I'm scuuurred LOL.

OK girls I originally got the referral to the OBGYN from Bariatric department because I have some loose skin down there bothering me. So today she said she thinks I should get a panni FIRST and then see what happens, and that would probably help me from feeling blah down there LOL...I did NOT expect this at all. I'm SO SO SCURRED OF THIS THOUGH. I saw some pics and it's not a normal beautiful tummy tuck with a new belly button. It's basically a lower tummy tuck all the way around (I think). BUT IF it will help me feel better down there, I will DO IT! I will keep you posted.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Totally awwwwesome!

ONEderful! Congrats!

I had surgery on a Friday and went home the following Monday...returned to work after 1 month.

God speed

AMEN to that!

I have loose and wrinkly skin mainly on my tummy and back of thighs, BUT I am 43 yrs. old and have had 2 babies (now 14 and 19) and gained and lost, and gained and lost weight many many times over the years...AND I don't exercise on a daily basis, or use weights ugh. You are still young and have a better chance of your skin not being as flabby or as loose, everyone is different. Fingers crossed for you

I don't think it's weird, thanks for sharing

GREAT JOB

Congrats!!!!!

Awwww Punkin Head it's my old post sniff, sniff, it seems sooo long ago...Guess what??? I'm actually going to try it on hopefully this weekend 3 months ahead of schedule yippeee! And if it fits, I will post a picture yayyy! My dress was super trendy! It was 1990 and the puffy sleeve thing was very popular. Now I look at it and say what was I thinking LOL! I've been told by some of my daughters friends it looks like it's from one of the Disney movies.
