Panniculectomony Scheduled

Good luck, Melinda. Let us know how it goes.  Have fun at lunch today, too.

Good luck Melinda! I am sure you will feel better to have that huge amount of skin etc removed from around your stomach. I get my lower body lift on the 10th September so I am nervous too.  I feel really good about my surgeon  - but I am wondering why you are going to a surgeon that you are not 100% happy with?

They really have perfected techniques nowadays so I am praying that you will have an outcome that you are happy with...

Hi Melinda Good luck with your upcoming surgery.  Just a couple of things that pop into my head right now.  You may want to get a wedge pillow..it sure helps me when i sleep at night.  Also make sure you drink  alot and eat like you should to ward off any dehydration.  Also, if you are prone to your butt hurting after sitting a while,   a donut cushion really helps.  I had one and it was a major comfort for me.  Again best wishes and I will be waiting to hear how you are doing. hugs

No advice sweetie, just big hugs of support!

Sorry I am so late getting to you .. I have been .. well sorta out of it . I am so glad you are getting this done . I am sure your back will thank you too !!  I want you to rest when you get home .. Listen to your surgeon .. drink your fluids .. and start upping your protein now .. this will help your healing .  I will be praying for you sweety .. just keep it real .  Tink

Lots of prayers & lots of hugs go out your way, Melinda.  

Prayers going up for your surgery and recovery. How long are they keeping you? Hope is all goes well and gives you the results and happiness you deserve from all your hard work.
