I hate that I had this surgery. My hanging skin is so disgusting that it has to be wrapped to my body in order to run, I can't do any activites that require jumping around because it flops against my abdomen. My thighs are so saggy with skin, and so are my upper arms. If I could go back and realize what a mess it would make me. I can't even eat healthy foods sometimes without dumping.
This surgery was the biggest mistake I've ever made. I just got denied for a panniculectomy, and can't afford the $11,000 I've been quoted to fix my stomach skin. I haven't even attempted to get a quote for my leg skin.
The smartest thing I ever did was go to therapy to figure out why I eat the way that I do. Thanks to that, Weight Watchers, and my new found knowledge of physical health I'm doing things the right away. I just wish I had done it earlier instead of taking the lazy way out.
I lost my gall bladder thanks to the surgery and now I get the runs sometimes if I eat certain foods. I can't enjoy dairy any longer. I can't ever drink anything while I eat or I get sick. And the noises my stomach makes when I eat are just down right disgusting.
