sjfink 239 Posted May 23, 2017 Awesome was this covered by insurance?Sadly, none of my skin removal was covered by insurance… but absolutely worth every penny! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dashofpixiedust8 1,469 Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Awesome! I hope you are feeling good! My surgeon gave me a 90% wound complication with the thigh surgery. I am in desperate need of it though. I'm glad you are doing well with it! I had my pannis approved by insurance and my surgeon said once I get to goal we have a good chance of getting my thighs covered because they are the most significant he has seen. Your thighs look great by the way! Edited May 24, 2017 by Dashofpixiedust8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Joann454 1,329 Posted May 24, 2017 Here's a side by side of pre-op vs 4 days post-op. Can't wait to see how they look once the swelling goes down. Wow!!! I can't wait to see too. Idk if I'll do any of the plastics. I'm a big chicken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nurse247 74 Posted May 24, 2017 What beautiful results! The more I seem to lose the more my thighs have all that wrinkling going on. Before I never wore shorts because my thighs were huge. Now I really am self conscious about wearing shorts because of all my loose skin. 1 Dashofpixiedust8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dashofpixiedust8 1,469 Posted May 24, 2017 @nurse247 I can't wear shorts because of the extra skin on my thighs...it looks like I have huge testicles on my upper thighs there is such a flap...I wish it were only wrinkly... 1 nurse247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By this time next year it will just be wrinkles then you'll wonder where your balls went!

(This whole process is definitely a t*******-girding experience!)Lol. I did not expect to lose weight so fast. I was so big for so long my skin is just worn out! 1 Stella S reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjfink 239 Posted May 26, 2017 I lost about 2lbs a week, which isn't particularly fast. I don't think losing slower would've made any difference. Like you said… my skin was just worn out! Just glad to finally have it gone… I'll take scars over skin any day! 2 ProudGrammy and SiaIsHere reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thisisthenewme 358 Posted May 26, 2017 By this time next year it will just be wrinkles [emoji4] then you'll wonder where your balls went! (This whole process definitely requires testicular fortitude!)OMG...this literally made me LOL!!That is good news, cause I swear my thighs look like a have a second vagina Not that you can see the first one anyway cause my panni hangs down so far. Really can't wait to get this off of me too. But another 30 to goal!! 4 ProudGrammy, Stella S, nursejenny07 and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjfink 239 Posted May 27, 2017 Had my follow up today. I spit a stitch where the vertical & groin incisions meet on my left thigh, so there's a small (about the size of a pencil eraser) opening that I need to pack with gauze. Other than that, things seem to be healing well! I'm still pretty sore on the left, so hopefully getting that nasty stitch out will mean it stops hurting soon!! 1 SiaIsHere reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
