I'm sensing that a panni and mini TT are the same thing from what I'm reading, and I was just curious as to whether I was getting the right idea. TIA

I'm not sure they are the same as I think of a mini TT as part of a mommy makeover after births whereas as a panni (I think also called an apronectomy) is the lower hanging jelly belly which is very often approved by one's HMO and I don't think a mini TT would be covered by the HMO.
Did you google each by itself?
Either way, I am happy with my panni (paid for by my HMO) and as my PS pulled the upper abdomen down, I have a "non-circumfercial" TT. But I am just happy to not have the 3K that was my hanging belly nor the continual existence of the fungi rash that refused to go away!
I'm falling asleep as I ytype on my iPhone so please ignore any typos.

I was getting the impression they're the same thing from reading on here.

I think they are different. I believe a mini-tummy tuck is mainly for women who have a little loose skin after childbirth or a small weight loss, definitely not massive weight loss by most of us bariatric patients. A panni just removes the skin and generally does not give "pretty" results.

Interesting - I'm thinking I'm a mini TT candidate as I lost 45 lbs to make it to the healthy range and don't have any stretch marks, just a little remnant blubber the worst of which is the lower stomach.
