Question:
I had a panniculectomy done after losing 200 pounds...

I haven't lost much more than 200, I still have another 150 or so to lose. But since my pan, my mid to upper back has been getting numb!! My regular doctor said he suspects it is my breasts and the layer of hanging skin/tissue under my breasts. Below my belly button, I'm fairly flat, above...all hanging down. Question: has anyone had this numbness and tingling that Im experiencing? And, has anyone had that layer of skin removed/a breast lift to aid in the process? I am sick of this numbness and tingling. Oh...and has anyone had their insurance company pay for this type of work for this type of reason...Thanks!    — Pamela P. (posted on April 29, 2003)
