Less than 2 weeks before my panniluculecotmy. I'm very nervous how my results will turn out. My ps does only the lower part without billing for a full TT insurance will only cover lower. I have 3 wonderful daughters ages 19,12&3y/o. I had lapband 6yrs ago and have maintained my weight for the past 5yrs. I am 5'6" weigh 148lbs. I hope the pain is tolerable. I plan to only take off 1-2wks of work at the most. The drains worry me. My doctor also said he don't use a binder is that okay?

Good luck! Thinking of you :)
We just uploaded a new video that may help with any pre-surgery jitters. I've included both the RealSelf and YouTube links.
Regarding the binder, you may want to post that question on the Doctor Q&A section.
