Panniculectomy?

[prettysfitjourney 24]

How soon after your WLS did you have an Abdominalplasty or panniculectomy? I had my surgery September 19th , 2017 and have my Panniculectomy consult Friday January 5th, 2018.

2 years for me... I've heard you should wait for a year after your weight has stabilized. That is unless you're planning to have multiple surgeries throughout your weight lots journey to help with mobility, etc.

Yeah that seems pretty soon. I just had both panniculectomy with add-on Abdominalplasty on December 11th. I am 2 years and 9 months post on my sleeve.

My surgeon requires 3 months of stabilized weight not years. Dang I am too old to wait yrs. Lol. If my ins wont cover it I will head to Bariatricpal MX. I am planning a head. I am having WLS in a few months. Need to lose 70 lbs. Good luck

In my case, 1 year after WLS. I was 3 months at goal weight.

Is lifting the mons a usually separate surgery? I'm still pre-sleeve surgery, but for the last few years, my mons has become like a softball and hangs too. I have to be careful with shorts and it looks like I have a big "package", not fun for a female.
