I am a 45 year old married and mother of two and a Shipoo. :)
I had the lapband done in Nov 2007 and lost 50 lbs and gained 20 back within a year or two. I struggled with the band hurting me and bumped up, so I chose to have it removed and have the vertical sleeve done back in Feb of 2014 and lost around 65 lbs. I am still a big girl but oh so much healthier than I was. Thereis no comparison between the band and sleeve.... the band was something foreign in my body that it did not like. The sleeve has been a great tool, but still no easy fix. Which I know all of us with weight issues wish there was an easy fix. But, after getting off the weight and keeping it off I feel it is time to get the belly/apron removed. It never changed at all since losing my 65 lbs. I just don't lose in my belly I guess.
I will be having a panniclectomy and breast reduction with lift on Tuesday, August 30th, 2016. 2 Days after I turn 46. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to me! My Dr has assured me this will increase my quality of life and make me feel like getting up and moving even more than I do now. I am an activie mom who loves to GO, but still hates to exercise. I am just being honest! I am hoping by having the pannus removed, it will give me the boost to work on getting even more active. I am so not looking forward to these drains! UGHH... I will have 4 total.
