Weight maintenance after breast reduction and panniculectomy

June 9, 2023
Asked By:tkl1964 in Bismarck, North Dakota

I am just curious. I have actually had two procedures. I had a breast reduction and a panniculectomy. I have not changed my caloric intake. Though I have tried. I still tend to binge. They took off 9 lbs of breast tissue and a little over 12 lbs of pannus tissue. The breast reduction was in Oct 2021 and the panniculectomy was in Nov of 2022. I am curious as to why I haven't gained any weight back. Especially since I was told I eat too much.
