well as you all know I have been going through a little bit with my surgery but I go back to the doctor on Tuesday and my primary care doctor told me that I should ask my surgeon is he would do a revision surgery simply because my surgery was not done like everyone else isI guess because I have scar tissue and right now my stomach is o unn even and I have scar under my stomach but I'm praying that he will agree to it and hopefully if he does then I will be able to have the surgery done again please pray for me and keep me in your thoughts and I would do the same for you

Wow that's really good wish I could do it. That's what I wanted but my insurance won't cover a total tummy tuck but even the panniculectomy is close to it if it's done right. .. are you doing it for health reasons or just to tighten your core

Ya my insurance denied me for a panniculectomy so im just paying out of pocket. I had gastric sleeve in 2012 and I have a lot of skin.

I didn't think so because I noticed that people who have their navel repositioned stomachs are much flatter. Some PS only remove the apron because that's what a panniculectomy is, but some PS will also stretch ur skin down to make it smaller. Will ur revision be done by the same PS.

Losing weight is a really hard task and sometimes that tool of surgery can help u achieve weight loss. I know a few people that started the process then got scared, I say never let fear keep u bound.

I will definitely keep praying for you. This time ask the PS do they reposition ur navel because that will give u more benefit with the panni. Good luck

I hate that you are still in so much pain and not healing well at 3 months post op. I hope you start feeling better soon. Do they know why you aren't healing good?

February 11, 2014
Hi loriw78 I went to the dr. Today and he said that because my left side was delayed in healing and I also just found out the reason I'm having so much pain is because I have a stitch coming thru. ... and it is uncomfortable. .. praying for better days to come he said in two months we will meet up again because my left side is still hanging lower than my right side

I pray that within those two months Jesus will touch you and free you from any pain and complete the healing process. He is able!
