Belly button gone, along with 10 inches!
Jan 04, 2010
It has been 20 days since the panniculectomy, and I am doing pretty good. The test showed no hernia, so only the lower section was done. She did tighten the muscles under there, and I do feel that! She cut me all the way on each side as far as she could reach without flipping me over. I spent 3 nights in the hospital. I had a drain in each side and a bizillion stitches...which I am not looking forward to having plucked out on friday! But I will be glad to get them and this last drain out so I can get dressed in something other than a robe. Its just easier in a robe with the binder, and something to pin the drain to.My balance seems way off now that I don't have that huge thing to contend with. Oh yea, it was 20 pounds of blob! And I lost 10 inches off my hips! And as of this morning at 172 I am 2 pounds away from loosing 200 pounds. Still blows my mind. I am so happy to have had this surgery, but I can see the thighs now, and they ain't pretty...ugh (shiver).
