I am a 46 yr old mom of 3 children, all 3 c sections. Around the age of 31, I had my stomach stapled for weight loss. After loosing aprox 150 lbs, I had a panniculectomy. This resulted in the loss of my belly button, 154 staples and a huge scar from hip to hip & up to the breast area. A doctor that I previoulsy worked with felt it was a sloppy job & more skin should have been cut from the pelvic area & lifted. Now I have pain continuously from the pubic area being so large & heavy.
