Guest guest Posted July 20, 2003 Report Share Posted July 20, 2003 Question about timing and weight loss for Panni... I don't consider myself anywhere near ready for panni/tummy tuck etc. I have lost over 100 lbs since WLS but am still at 204 as of this morning. According to CTscan I have a hernia that has bowel in it (PCP said this means the bowel is protruding into abdominal wall) But also have large ovarian cyst so there is a good possibility I will have to have surgery. It has been suggested by some people on the boards that I try to get panni done at the same time. This seems ridiculous to me. I do have a floppy belly and all but just think I need to lose at least 50 lbs before considering any plastic surgery. Opinions anyone? Someone also said that a panni would help to keep the hernia from coming back. Is that true? I know when I had the first ovarian cyst removed 9 years ago we had a problem with my belly hanging down and it pulling on my incision. Will see WLS and gyno this week I hope. Neither of course would do a Panni. Would have to see a PS fur that. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
