I'm 17 days post panniculectomy and I was wondering when I can resume sexual activities. I haven't had any complications or pain for that matter but I just want to be careful.

Dear maryjaneflowers,
Thanks for your question and pictures.
Sounds like you have some issues that may qualify for a panniculectomy, i.e removal of excess skin and fat below the belly button. Have your primary care physician document your medical issues, recommend therapy, and document continued...
Congratulations, you are already a much healthier person than before your weight loss. Your comfort and appearance will improve even further with a tummy tuck or a panniculectomy, and you deserve to reward yourself with this procedure for all the effort that you have already put in. My concern...
Although this may be something quite benign (not harmful) I do suggest touching base with your plastic surgeon to make sure that the "bleeding" you describe is not something more serious that warrants medical or surgical intervention.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
