Plastic surgery done and hernia repaired!!!!!!!!!!

Jun 14, 2010

I don't know if anybody's reading these anymore, but I'll stick up a post anyway.  I had surgery on JUNE 2, Mainly to finally get rid of the hernia, but the only way to lower the chances of it recurring was to have a panniculectomy (sp) too.  Insurance of course flaked, but I did it anyway.  It's healing now and it is actually kind of strange not to have that huge amount of skin.  Which for the record was only 7 lbs.  I really would have thought it was more.  It's hard to see the end result but the surgery seems to have been a success and now just to heal and see how it looks after it streches out, etc.  Still everything clothing feels odd.  I'm having to cart drains around and it wasn't the easier surgery, but it was no where near the horror story one lady has posted on here.  Anyway I actually dropped under 200 the day of surgery, to 197, and then went to surgery.  Which oddly had been my goal and seemed like it would never happen I was stuck at the 200 mark.   Then zip, bam, boom.  190,  Yes it does feel really good.  Once I can move more, it'll feel even better.   Good luck and God bless
