Just got home Panniculectomy



Recommended Posts

I was told to empty them twice a day. Besides that I just left them alone. I didn't have much coming out though. I only had the drains from tuesday-friday. Hope everything went well!

Hey congrats on getting your surgery. I just got mine scheduled for next month and I'm excited/nervous.

Move around...10-15 minutes every hour to prevent clotting.... empty drains more than 2 times a day if they fill up fast...

CONGRATS!!! happy healing vibes to you

Congrats. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Will or did anyone use FMLA. I'm considering a TT as well.

I was looking at Mexico and wondering what should it say for type of surgery to get it approved. Looking at February. Because just saying Tummy Tuck could be questionable.

Any advice?

Good' date=' I'm glad you get to go home.

When your feeling a bit better let us know what happened, what they said?[/quote']

From what I understand , I lost to much blood during my surgery , and I was also VERY dehydrated :/ those combined was the reasoning for the dizziness and passing out

      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!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
