I had my panni removed in July " 02 " ........it weighed 5 lb. I GAINED 5 LB

(and still holding on to them.) When I saw the doc a month ago he stated

that this is the " typical " .........of course for ONCE in my life I am the

typical and would have much rather NOT been the typical!! P.

Man, -- that's enough to really piss a gal off!!! =)

Looks like same has happened to me. Always " atypical " until now ... NOW I'm

typical. Took off 3 lbs (on 2/14) and scale, so far, is UP 3 lb!! =)

I, however, will take what ever God gives me - and be grateful!

Bobbie,

My surgery (3 days after yours), took off roughly two pounds of skin. The

exacts weight was 900 grams. I couldn't eat the first couple of days from

feeling nauseated and had the flu. The scale showed a loss of the first two

pounds right away. Then it went down a little more. Now it has pretty much

evened out with those 2 pounds gone. Maybe there will be a difference when

the swelling goes down but I doubt it. The woman in the bed next to me had a

2 kg loss of skin.
