WORTH IT
Had panniculectomy yesterday...no abdominoplasty. Will most likely have umbilicoplasty later but soooo happy with my results. 6lbs of skin removed. I feel amaaaazing... my surgeon and her staff... phenomenal! Less than 48 hours...really sore but no bruising and swelling not bad at all. I can see all the hard work I did in the gym

Why you didn't get the full tummy tuck

A panniculectomy only removes excess skin below the navel. A tummy tuck is above and below navel and they tighten and repair muscle

No only if I was worried about my belly button being low I didn't need muscle repair so 2 more weeks before I can resume ab workouts

I just had sutures out today... surgeon still amazed at my results but I stayed in the gym and hit my weight loss goal prior to looking into surgery and maintained weight over a year. Best decision ever. Only thing i don't like is how low my navel is but it's worth the result.. I'll post pics of my scar next week...fading nicely

Back to work today. Still have staples so a bit sore and a little tired. I keep trying to wash under my.fat roll but it's gone LOL! I feel amazing and loving my results with NO tummy tuck or muscle repair. Surgeon did awesome and I am so glad I stayed faithful to my workouts. Some of the before n after photos had me a bit paranoid. Kept my navel it's just lower but my stomach is pretty flat. 2 years post Gastric Sleeve...ab workouts 6 days a week...I worked hard! These photos are last night. I can sleep in bed but not flat...still wear compression bandage to bed
