I am so excited about my upcoming surgery. I am waiting for my surgery date which will probably be sometime next week. I am having a full tummy tuck, panniculectomy and lip of my back and flanks. I have lost weight, exercised and this pouch is still there. The back fat by the bra area and love handles just seem like a permanent part of my body. But not anymore after my surgery. I wear my pants up to my belly bottom to try and hide this belly plus it feels as though I have more belly support when I wear my pants like this. I am so excited Updated on 15 Aug 2015: My drains were removed but my Doctor said for me not to drive. My next appointment is on August 25, 2015 so we'll see what happens then. I had a long day to day and it felt good going out after being in the house for 4 days. I'm already loving my results. I had pain medicine put under my skin which I think made a world of difference. The last time I took my oral pain meds was on Wednesday and I only too it one time on that day. I'm feeling great and looking good. So glad I had this website for support and questions. I still have to wear my binder daily and I can breath
