Panni removal approved

Yippee!!!! I just found out yesterday that my panni removal has been approved by my insurance.  Only 3 more weeks to go........So far, I have been very impressed with Dr. Bergman's office/staff. Tina

Oh wow, congrats!   You will feel so much better when it is done- only 3 weeks to go! ((((hugs)))) Ellen   

Yeah!  I just noticed..........I had Dr. Jones and then just 4 weeks ago Dr. Bergman did my tummy tuck and breast lift/augmentation.  They are both OUT OF THIS WORLD!  After plastics I only took pain meds for 2 days!  (I do have a high pain tolerance.......)  Best Wishes to you and remember---------Just do everything they say to do!

Lisa, How are you doing 4 weeks out from your plastics?  I am having tummy tuck and inner thighs.  Surgery will be 6 and half hours, so I am getting really nervous.  My RNY was only 45 minutes, and that was the one and only surgery that I have ever had!!!! Tina

Hi Tina, I am doing much better than I ever expected to be doing.  I was home 2 1/2 weeks, then back to work part time for one week and then full time.  (I do have a sit down job.)   I was in surgery for 7 hours, spent the night and home by noon the next day.  The main pain I had was in getting up and down from a sitting position.  The thing that saved me was a recliner.  I slept in that chair until just a week ago, so for about 3 1/2 to 4 weeks.  I am a side sleeper and I just couldn't do that for some time but, then mostly it was the pulling of my breasts and you are not having that done........  I don't know about the thigh lift. If there is anything else I can tell you just ask!  You have had and picked GREAT doctors!!! Smiles - Lisa
