  • This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
  • Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
  • Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.

3 years later and still keeping my weight loss off.

I am a few weeks shy of being 3 years post op and I have never felt better about my decision to have vsg and my panniculectomy. I have truly gained a WHOLE NEW LIFE! I’m happy, I’m healthy and I am in the best shape of my life. For anyone contemplating getting this surgery I can only say one thing! JUST DO IT!!!!! My restriction is still going strong although I can eat a lot more than in the first year I’m still only able to eat child size portions and that’s a great thing. I don’t drink alcohol or soda but I do drink juice and seltzer water from time to time. I also enjoy sweets with lots of moderation when I’m craving it but as a whole I am sticking to the plan. I am very active I run 60 miles per month and I ride my bike 30-40 miles per month. I used this second chance at life and I am not wasting a moment of it. Good luck to everyone

2 months post op panniculectomy

I feel great, body is getting stronger. I still have some numbness but dr says that’s totally normal I don’t have any pain except every now and then I’ll get shooting pains which also is normal according to the dr as the nerves regrow. Overall I am very happy with my results.
I finally have a bikini bod that I am proud of

2.5 weeks post panni op

Updating photos of my panniculectomy done 2.5 weeks ago.
I am starting to gain energy I have had both drains removed. One 8 days post op and the second one removed on day 15. I am still very numb on my tummy and legs go numb often which is deemed normal due to the many nerves that were cut.
