Thank you!!! Feeling pretty good for just having a massive amount of skin/flab cut off...The only thing is the binder is a bit bothersome. But, all in all...Pretty good!

Congrats Donna!
Did you just have the panni or do a tummy tuck as well? If it was just the panni, did the doc use an anchor cut? Do you still have a belly button?
(can you tell Ive been researching? )
How long have you been at your goal weight?
Ive had three huge babies and the muscles below my belly button are shot to hell. I think I could get by with just a panni.........but, Ive read mixed reviews. Any more insight you could give me would be fabulous!

Thank you!

I just had the panni, I wish a Tummy Tuck, but this is what is covered under our insurance. I asked for the anchor cut and he said nothing fancy, just hip bone to hip bone. I did ask if he would take the belly button on the morning of surgery and he said, "you don't want it?" I said "please take it." So, he took it and it made a tighter belly, plus he gave me a mons pubis lift, so the girl looks all pretty again..LOL... I am happy with the results, I know it could of been better for thousands of dollars, but, I think I can get through life with this. My stomach muscles are still really strong, so once I heal I will see what I can do at working them. I feel so much lighter and cleaner already.

Good luck with whatever you choose, you wont be disappointed if you have a great post-op bariactric plastic surgeon. He really knows his work, he did a fabulous job!!!..
