Hi redheadeddevil,

If you have not done so please post this on the Plastic Surgery Forum for more responses.

I don't really understand what kind of recovery help you're asking for. Since there's no muscle cutting involved, usually the recovery from a panniculectomy is very simple other than perhaps a bit of swelling.

if you can be more specific about what you're looking for, we can be of more help.

I am also confused about what you are asking. 

With plastics, just because the remove 6 pounds of skin, that does not necessarily mean it will be reflected on the scale, just FYI.
