I'm really pleased with the results of my Panniculectomy. I feel so much better and even eat a bit less. I have added some new photos taken today.

Before and After
I am finally getting around to uploading some photos of how my stomach looked before and after my Panniculectomy. The transformation is amazing and I feel so much better. Although I am still swollen, I can see how much the surgery has already changed my appearance. I know that when all of the swelling and bruising is gone, I will be totally satisfied with the results. I had an amazing surgeon who is taking great care of me.

Looking amazing!!! So happy for you!! Can't wait to see how the healing journey goes!! Are you still in a binder??

Thank you! I am no longer in the binder. My doctor told me to use a body sharper or hi-waist panty girdle so that is what I'm wearing. I had my doctor visit today and everything is going well but I'm still have quite a bit of swelling. I go back to the doctor on June 6th. I hope you are well and healing fine.

Recovering from Panniculectomy
I had my final drain removed on yesterday and now I can actually take a shower. My surgeon was very specific regarding now showering or taking a bath as long as my drains were in. I am so happy that I followed her instructions because they wanted to make sure I didn't get any infections. The swelling is going down some so that is good news. I still have to be careful and take it easy for the next few weeks.

Yay!! You must feel amazing now that the drain is gone!! Can't wait to see how you look!! Happy healing!!

Yes, it is so nice to not have that drain on my side. I am so happy just to be able to take a shower. I am feeling stronger even though I know I still have some healing to do but just to get the surgery behind me is a major accomplishment. I hope to get to my desired weight over the next few months. I hope you are doing well with your recovery and things are healing as they should. I am going to post some photos today.
