I am scheduled in 2 weeks for PS. The doc suggests a panni, abdominoplasty and puboplasty. Insurance is covering the panni but the rest is on me and I can't afford all that so I must eliminate one. I have lost 181 pounds and am ready to experience the huge change everyone but me can see. I desperately need advice from those who know best which would give me the best reward for my limited funds. I can swing one or the other but not both. Also, can I manage the pain with meds or is it worth the extra $250 to spring for the pain pump?

Surgery coming up this Tuesday. I'm doing panni, abdominoplasty and puboplasty. Insurance is covering the panni, I'm on the hook for the rest, just about $6000. Based on your experience, how many pounds should I expect to go and how much difference will it make in my pants size?
