26yr Old, 2 Kids, Huge Pannus

I went on 11/10/2016 to do a consultation with Dr. Ben Tittle. Dr. Tittle and staff were so friendly and made me feel like I was making the correct decision in having a panniculectomy. By the end of the visit, Dr. Tittle let me know that I would be most satisfied with a full tummy tuck. At the time of the consultation I weighed 247 and my bmi was over 30. He wanted me to lose 20 to 40 lbs before doing the procedure. Between the months of November and April, my life was turned upside down. I was in the gym almost every day, then my dad passed away on January 10, that caused alot of negative stress on my body. But I stayed determined to get the weight off. Although I didn't get it all off. The time had for me to pick my surgery date. May 12th was the only date the doc had available to do both the breast reduction and abdominoplasty. So I went with that date. The whole week leading up to the 12th I was so nervous. But I got through it. Dr. Tittle put my mind at ease at my pre-op appt and the morning of my procedure. He is such a caring doctor and his bedside manner is one that i can only hope everyone receives. He gave me realistic expectations and for that I am grateful. I will post some before photos now and come back later on to post some after.

I'm getting around a lot better. Took 2 photos with clothes on today.

Today is a bit better. Took an amazing shower with a shower chair. I thank God for my amazing husband. He is taking really good care of me. Last night I got little to no sleep because I was trying to go without taking a pain pill. Today I took one and feel 10x better. I have a doc appt tomorrow at 10:15. I am crossing my fingers that he takes the drain out tomorrow. I'm ready to wear normal clothing. I took a few pics today. Keep in mind that I am still swollen but it's a huge difference from what I started with. Lipo will definitely be done along my bra roll and flanks. THEN I AM DONE
