I'm about 11 years out from my TT and still get them today. Really has nothing to do with exercise in my experience. Just the weird random movement but sometimes when stretching after a workout and would say it's a charley horse.

Yes. I posted about this awhile ago. I stopped getting them maybe 2-3 months ago and I'm over a year post op. I'm not sure their 100% gone but I haven't done much ab work lately, as I've mostly been running. For awhile I was getting them when I went to the bathroom which was pretty horrible!

This far after surgery, 50 pounds seems like a lot to ask you to lose. I am sure he is protecting you and himself by asking you to be at a lower weight. I personally think you should get another opinion. Getting rid of the panni would make you feel better and allow for more exercise. Perhaps it could be done in stages, the panni first, then lose 50 pounds and have the other work done.

I had a panniculectomy Sept 2018. Only a small amount of muscle repair due to a hernia. The muscle spasms like you describe started a few months ago. Yes they feel like a charley horse and they come out of nowhere. Mentioned it to my daughter chorus last week and she was not concerned.

I had weight loss surgery in 2010 and lost around 90 lbs and for most part still there. that still puts me at 285 and a huge area with my stomach that hangs down. I was looking at getting a panniculectomy even though I know I have more to lose but not sure if I will ever lost more. I saw a surgeon and he gave me pricing for this and a mons lift and abdominoplasty. I scheduled the surgery and just went in for the consult before the surgery and now he is saying he wont do it till I lose 50 more lbs. Was curious if anyone has had this done when still overweight?
