Hello, My name is Mickie. I live in Birmingham, Alabama and I am 47.

I had Lap Rny August 2, 2002. BMI 52 at a height of 5'2. My weight at

the time of surgery was 290 lb size 28 & 30 clothes. I am now at 153

lbs & & BMI is 28. Clothes size 12 & very loose 14's. I feel

wonderful & I am very excited about my up coming surgery. Just a

little nervous.

I have a question that hopefully someone can help me with. I have

Plastic surgery scheduled October 1 for a panniculectomy. My

insurance only will pay for the excess skin removal. Being a single

parent it is not an option for me to borrow a lot of money to have

the extra tightening done. My surgeon says he thinks I will do well

with just the skin removal because my waist is small.

Hopefully someone that has been thru this already can help. My

questions are,

1. What can I expect as far as clothes size? Will my clothes size go

down 2 sizes?

2. Are happy with just the panni & not the full TT?

3. Will I be able to go back to work after 12 days. I have an office

position.

4. My son will be out of town at a school fuction. Will I be able to

care for myself.

Here goes Mickie!!!

1. What can I expect as far as clothes size? Will my clothes size go

> down 2 sizes?

My clothes didn't change in size at all.....most all my panni was really low

riding....don't know if this had anything to do with it.

2. Are happy with just the panni & not the full TT?

YES, YES, YES.........I thought for sure my muscles would be a mess after 4

big babies and an emergency c-section..........but the panni removal alone

was awesome.

3. Will I be able to go back to work after 12 days. I have an office

> position.

This will probably be real different for everyone......personally it was the

hardest surgery I ever had.....including knee, c-section, bypass, both

hands.......I was a mess mentally and physicall for at least 4-5 weeks. And

the surgery went great and uneventful.

4. My son will be out of town at a school fuction. Will I be able to

> care for myself.

For me......NO WAY. I needed lots of help for at least a full two

weeks......but like #3 this will surely vary from person to

person............hope this helps some!
