I have been In fear for so many years and after 11 years I decided to get the procedure done, since I was a candidate! I had two C-sections, both Vertical and horizontal. My babies where so big and caused me to stretch so much and loosen more after eating right and working out! I may not had lose as much as others, and gone thru other procedures prior to panni, but I have lost an amount from 150 to 95 ponds then up to 145 then back down to 125! the last I checked! I had personally spoken to several people who had received the procedure and they said they are glad about having it done! I will continue to update my recovery and put more pictures up time to time!

Recovery has been well! Today I felt less pain and from 1- 10, it rated a 1 for me! Stitches are healing well and drainage has been one of my most discomfort, but almost less than
20 ml and looking just good! A few days and hopefully drainage tubes will be removed! Here is a picture after a week from surgery! Still swollen , but has gone down a Lil bit!

Hello everyone, it has been a while since my last post! Things have been going well and swelling has gone away! Still numb here and there, but so far satisfied! I'm so happy the way my Tummy has turned out and just the look of my transformation makes my proud and no regrets!

Amazing I just had one from the same Dr. just three days ago. My extra skin looks very smiliar to yours. Im so thankful i found your post I was a little scared of the results. But yours looks amazing. My belly button hurts some. I would love to talk to you if possible. I share my pics with you and ask a few questions coming from a person with the same dr and not coming from a dr. There answers are pretty much the same you know. Wow Im so excited. Congrats !!!!! This puts my mind at ease.

Thanks! It was only a pannilectomy! I've been working out prior to this surgery! This is the reason why I had the surgery, couldn't stand the look! Muscles are there but still had the saggy skin!

How bad is the pain? You can already tell your gonna have good results ,hope mine are too :) hope you have a speedy recovery.

Pain, I can say was not as bad as I thought it would be! In the scale from 1 being less and 10 being more, it was mostly between 2-4! Meds helped me go through my days, but I can go pass 12 hours til I need it again! I can say its been going well for me, and the recovery status right now has been much easier when you have someone to assist you daily! Results, I can say its been looking more beautiful everyday that passes! Good luck and remember, you can do this! Courage and strength is all you need!
