Panniculectomy

A panniculectomy removes hanging fat and skin, typically after massive weight loss. It may be performed as a single procedure or combined with a tummy-tuck, depending on the patient's condition. Panniculectomy is different from abdominoplasty, in that abdominoplasty tightens the muscle as well as removes excess skin and fat, but a panniculectomy only removes excess skin and fat. A panniculectomy may also be performed with another abdominal surgery, such as a hysterectomy, or repair of the abdominal wall or hernia of the belly button.

The Best Candidate for Panniculectomy

Panniculectomy candidates typcially suffer from obesity, or have recently experienced significant weight loss, or suffer post-pregnancy issues with inordinate fat localized below the belly button.

Candidates may have fat extending as low as the knees, over the hips, and around the back. These conditions cause panniculectomy candidates to experience a host of health issues, including back problems, the breakdown of skin, rashes, ulcers, or skin disorders. These conditions may interfere with everyday life — walking, standing, or sitting may become very difficult.

The best candidates have stabilized their weight for at least one year. The candidate must be participating in a proper dietary and exercise plan. Candidates who have had the gastric bypass procedure should wait until one year after gastric bypass surgery or Lap-Band surgery, after the health problems associated with obesity have subsided.

The Panniculectomy Procedure

The panniculectomy is most often performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon. The location of the procedure is typically a hospital, although the procedure may be performed in an outpatient surgery center. Time in surgery may be several hours. The procedure is often performed under general anesthesia (while you are asleep) and requires a hospital stay, typically ranging from one day to one week.

An incision is made from the lower area of the sternum to the pubic bone. Another horizontal incision is made at the pubic area where the excess fat and skin can be delicately removed. The skin that remains is then pulled together and closed. Drains may be inserted that will require personal home care. Tape will be applied to the incision areas. Any essential repairs to the abdominal wall or hernia within the belly button can usually be made at the same time.

After Panniculectomy

Your surgeon will supply a complete postoperative instruction list to follow, to reduce the risk of complications. You will have to sponge bath. Your doctor may fit you with a medical garment to wear at all times (except during a sponge bath) until otherwise directed.

If drains were inserted, the drains will need to be emptied as instructed. Dressings will also need to be changed.

Pain, swelling and bruising can occur, which can be managed with medications and proper care. Keep in mind that normal activities cannot be resumed immediately. Restrictions include no exercise or lifting of 10 pounds or more. There cannot be any pressure placed on the abdominal area.

Complications and Risks

Complications are possible with any plastic surgery. The most common but infrequent panniculectomy complications include infection, bleeding, and excessive scarring. If these occur, notify your surgeon immediately.

Consult a Qualified Plastic Surgeon

A qualified plastic surgeon will help ensure that a panniculectomy is appropriate for your condition. The most qualified surgeons can also increase your odds of success and reduce the risk of complications.

It's important to choose a board-certified plastic surgeon from the American Board of Plastic Surgery who has extensive, specific panniculectomy experience, as well as expertise in all areas of abdominal plastic surgery. Board certification may not always guarantee the best results; however, board certification does require specific and rigorous surgical education and training, which can help you achieve a safe and successful outcome.

Here are some tips for consulting a plastic surgeon:

Review the doctor's credentials, education, training, type of certification held, and number of times that the treatment has been performed in the practice.
View before-and-after photos of patients with similar conditions who received a panniculectomy and alternative surgical options.
Inquire about the method of the procedure and possible complications from surgery.
Ask for a pre- and postoperative instruction checklist.

Costs

Panniculectomy costs include three fees: local or general anesthesia fees, facility fees, and surgeon's fees. Since the panniculectomy procedure is usually performed during an abdominoplasty, you only pay one anesthesia fee and one facility fee. Since your treatment will be customized to fit your needs, only an estimated range of costs can be given. Average total fees range from $8,500 to $10,000.

Insurance coverage for the cost of the panniculectomy varies. If the procedure is strictly for cosmetic reasons, insurance will not cover the procedure. However, the insurance carrier may cover all or a portion of the costs if medical conditions are correlated with excessive weight. For example, hernia is often present in panniculectomy patients. In this case, the insurance will often pay for the hernia repair, but not necessarily the panniculectomy. The doctor will help identify whether the panniculectomy is covered under your insurance plan.

Weight Loss Approaches

According to recent statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 65 percent of all U.S. citizens are overweight. Even worse, the organization has estimated that 30 percent, totaling over 60 million Americans, are obese. Many people are committed to fighting the battle. The Calorie Control Council estimates that there are 71 million dieting Americans — the highest figure in 15 years. The National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion estimated that approximately 40 percent of U.S. adults get the recommended amount of daily activity.

For centuries, standard diet and exercise was the norm. Since that has changed in modern society, weight-related issues have become a priority in the health fields; obesity is better addressed, services are more easily accessible and whole wellness initiatives continue to rise.

The cause of excessive weight is no mystery. The effects of excessive weight are becoming painfully clear. In recent years, excessive weight has been more conclusively linked to many medical conditions, including increased risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and osteoporosis. Excessive weight can also be linked to psychological difficulties such as mood swings and lack of confidence. Proper diet and exercise can slow the aging process, improving skin tone or texture and reducing wrinkles. Weight loss is a multifaceted concern, meaning that it must be addressed in multiple ways, including

regular physical examinations by a doctor
body fitness assessments by fitness professionals
diet-and-nutrition services, information online and bookstores

For the past half century, weight loss programs have evolved into an integrated strategy — a cooperative effort involving the consumer and the healthcare industry. According to MarketResearch.com, approximately 30 percent of women online are interested in losing weight. About 57 percent of American consumers are interested in buying and cooking healthier food. The employment outlook posted by the National Department of Labor indicates that the need for fitness and recreational workers will increase by 21 to 35 percent — an indication that more people are looking for the help of fitness experts.

People are beginning to benefit from advanced services provided by healthcare organizations, the food industry and health clubs. New multifaceted weight-control strategies are a positive trend for maintaining proper weight.

What Causes Overeating?

Among the glands, the pituitary is the master gland that governs all other glands. It somewhat hangs from the hypothalamus which is, at the base of the brain. It monitors the activities of the other glands to produce exactly the correct amount of their respective hormones.

Hypothalamus are a group of neurons that act as the centre for appetite, the stimulation of which results in the sensation of hunger. If there is an abnormal function of this appetite centre in the hypothalamus, obesity is caused due to overeating.

Obesity also results if the hormones that the pituitary gland secretes, are deficient. One notable feature of this deficiency is, along with causing obesity the height of the person gets retarded, particularly in the case of growing children. Girls stay short and stout and the onset of menses is delayed or absent for a very long period. In cases where this gland is overactive and secretes hormones in excess of what it should, the person grows to an abnormal size. This is known as gigantism.

The second gland that contributes to obesity, is the thyroid. This is situated in the neck. A deficiency in the hormones secreted by this gland results in the speedy division of cells. Such an increase in the number of cells causes obesity.

The third gland is the adrenals. These are two in number and are situated above the kidneys. The hormones that these glands

secrete, control our emotions - anger, fear, etc. Excess secretion of these hormones, or when these hormones are administered in massive doses cause a severe disorder known as CUSHING'S SYNDROME. This is also known by the name Moon face. Any tumour or inflammation in this gland also causes Cushing's syndrome. The person so afflicted, bloats to abnormal proportions and becomes the victim of various other disorders too, like hypertension and diabetes.

The pancreas is a very important digestive organ that secretes the digestive pancreatic juice and an essential endocrine hormonethe insulin. Insulin is very essential in sugar metabolism. The stored fat from the refined carbohydrate and sugar due to the abnormal sugar metabolism result in obesity.

In some cases, if the sex hormones secreted by the ovaries in females, are deficient during menopause, obesity results. Administering hormones further add to the bulk. So is the case after hysterectomy in some women.

Food addiction and obesity

Addictions are of many types. All of us are addicted to some things without even knowing why and how we are addicted. Generally tobacco, alcohol, drugs like opium and heroin are thought to be the things which a person gets addicted to. But most of us are unaware of an equally serious addiction, that is addiction to food.

Different people are addicted to some food items. Some are addicted to carbohydrates in the form of rice or even wheat, some to spicy food, some to sweets, some to fast food and other commercial food. There are persons who get addicted even to bread and milk. Individually these food as an addiction, i.e. addiction to anyone of these, may be harmless without visible discomfort. If abstained from, or lesser quantity of the particular type of food is taken, one may feel some sort of all-gone sensation in the stomach or suffer other withdrawal symptoms. But once they are introduced again, the withdrawals may disappear. As in any other addiction, the more one eats, the more the food is relished. The craving for eating keeps increasing day-byday.

Withdrawals and the fear of it

Addiction to overeating is a serious problem, because it causes obesity. Overeating unwittingly begins at a very young age when it can be easily controlled or got rid of. But on being ignored or even encouraged, it reaches a stage when withdrawing or controlling it becomes extremely difficult. We often see persons overeating the type of food they are fond of. Addiction to isolated food items can be considered quite harmless compared to addiction to overeating. But if that isolated food happens to contain more calories than the body needs, addiction' to that particular type of food will definitely be difficult to control. In case that particular food is not available, something else will be sought which gives the satisfaction of eating the missing one. In some cases there are no such cravings for high calorie food like sweets and other processed food. A person simply eats anything that is available till his stomach is uncomfortably full. Less quantity of food makes the individual restless until he eats again after a few minutes' interval.

The underlying cause for such overeating lies basically with the abnormal functions of the endocrine glands and the amount of hormones they produce. Availability of food in abundance is another reason why addiction to overeating is difficult to handle.

Obesity and Exercise

At one time walking was considered to be one of the very important exercises which never required a specific time in many people's daily life. All religions advocate that people should attend morning prayers, pooja or namaz at their respective place of worship. People walked in groups almost regularly in the mornings before they started other activities of the day, some still do. They used to walk long distances to their work place, or travelled by bicycles.

Automation has modified the need for physical activities. Elevators, automobiles - two and four wheelers - and the like, have replaced walking, cycling and other natural exercises in our lives.

Walking and cycling, though tire a person while doing them, give much needed exercise and mental relaxation. Travelling by crowded buses and trains do not give exercise but only physical exertion and exhaustion. When two and four wheelers were rare, youngsters walked down to the marketplace for shopping and for other such chores but nowadays even a very young boy depends on two wheelers - bicycle or scooter, for going to even the nearest shop. When compared to two and four wheeler drives, a journey by bus or train is better because at least a bit of walking is involved in it.

Aversion to physical exertion leads to mental exhaustion

Today we come across people who go for a walk in their cars! Yes, they drive to a specific place, mostly sea- shores, park the car there and walk on the sand for a few minutes, and get back into their car to return home, having completed their walking! This has actually happened in a family known to me, where both the husband and wife tried reducing weight. While the lady of the house took to the correct route of reducing through diet, and other activities, the husband by going for walking in the car has remained obese and more so, till date.

Physical exertion in housekeeping has also tremendously reduced due to labour saving devices. But all this has not spared people from getting as tired as the older generation used to who did not have these facilities. They got tired because of their physical exertion. Any amount and all types of food they consumed were instantly converted to energy because of their labour consuming activities. Their overtired body regained freshness after a very sound sleep. Nowadays people experience tiredness which is nervous in origin and not physical. So the same type of food is not converted to energy but fat. Absence of physical tiredness causes loss of sleep or disturbed sleep. This makes them more exhausted than ever.

All about aerobic and rigorous exercise

Though aerobic and rigorous exercises are recommended to lose weight,they are not without disadvantages in a long run. In rigorous exercises there are three stages. First, when you take up a programme like aerobic exercise, spot reducing, weight lifting and the like, the first few days make you a bit tired. But by watching others do it with enthusiasm, you are encouraged to continue for a few more days. This encouragement forces you to wait and see the result. This is the second stage when you experience a well-being and regained strength. The third stage is when doing these exercises very regularly without break, limbs, joints and back start aching a bit, the body too becomes quickly tired. If you stick to it despite the tiredness, the pain slowly disappears. You continue to enjoy the exercises and its benefits. A stage comes when for some reasons you skip such exercises, you become restless unless you resume them. A dependence on these exercises as with drugs or food, slowly takes hold of you.

Home Remedies for Obesity And Weight Loss

Extract juice of one lemon in a glass of lukewarm water. Add a teaspoonful of honey, mix well and take in the morning immediately after waking up and before taking anything else. In the same type of drink, in place of honey, add first a pinch of black rock salt, mix well and take in the afternoon. These two doses must be taken regularly.
Roast barley seeds and powder it. Mix it with a little milk and honey. Make a small ball and take it in breakfast. A pinch of salt can be added with a little water and a small ball can be taken at noon.
Sieve wheat flour and remove the bran. Mix two tablespoonfuls of this bran in a glass of skimmed milk, add honey and take it at least once a day. Do not add sugar. Bran can also be taken with buttermilk.
Take a ripe banana mashed in plain diluted cow's milk with a tablespoonful of fresh banana flower juice during breakfast for a couple of months.
Ten drops of tulsi leaf juice with two teaspoonfuls honey in water for one month.
Raw tomatoes and onions, mixed with the juice of one lemon is a very good salad for obesity.
Honey in pure raw tomato juice.
Potatoes boiled with skin or roasted in hot sand or coal fire for breakfast.

Diseases and Disabilities, Obesity Can Cause

It is unfortunate that obesity leads to many disabilities in one's later life. Some of these disabilities are crippling in nature and others, degenerative.

Diabetes :- Onset of diabetes in adulthood is more common solely among obese persons. Even though heredity is the deciding factor in diabetes, chances are remote if the person takes care not to gain weight as he grows. There are persons with normal weight who are not diabetic though there is a family history of diabetes. Some among such individuals believe strongly that they will inherit the disorder one day or other in their middle age. This belief itself leads them to behave as some diabetics would and they slowly gain weight.

Incorrect way of eating habits in some diabetics

Normally, a diabetic individual feels hungry and eats at short intervals. It is necessary for him to eat small frequent meals rather large ones at long intervals; his family doctor advises him so too. You ask him or others like him about it and they invariably come up with an explanation as to how they are expected to follow their family doctor's instructions lest they should suffer

from low sugar and fainting bouts. They have certainly misunderstood this recommendation. While eating frequently, they fail to regulate or reduce the quantity and quality of food eaten. They satisfy their hunger pangs by stuffing themselves with readily available commercial food, rich in calories but poor in nutrition. At times they also overeat to keep hunger at bay. This type of indiscretion increases the bulk of their body. This itself is harmful.

There should be a rational and perceptible solution for the ignorance about what, when and how a diabetic should eat. This is certainly, without doubt, very easy if one wishes to learn and follow it.

Heart attack : - Obesity invites a number of heart diseases and possibilities of an attack even at a very young age. It is a disturbing fact that heart attacks and deaths occur even at the age of thirty and below, caused by obesity due to over nourishment and high living style. When there is a large amount of fat around the chest, the lungs have less room to expand. Blood oxygenation is impaired. This also makes the heart work harder due to which breathing becomes laborious.

Arthritis :- The structure of the human body is designed to be active in order to stay fit and be free from disabilities. Bulk in the body disallows brisk activity and exercise. Exercise is essential for the production of calcium and to prevent its depletion in the bones. If there is no activity, the amount of calcium in and around the bones and joints will reduce, causing stiffness of the joints. When the weight bearing joints are over-burdened due to obesity, they tend to cause swellings and rigidity of the limbs. The pain and stiffness confines the individual to bed discouraging even the minimum of essential movements. The damage occurs slowly and progressively when degeneration of the joints takes place.

Stroke :- An obese person also risks strokes when he happens to fall, especially if he has crossed the age of forty. During a fall the blood supply to the brain is deprived after the initial rush of the blood. The sudden rushing and draining out of the blood damage ~e arteries supplying blood to the tissues and cells of the brain. This, in turn, causes rupture and seepage of blood, resulting in cerebral haemorrhage. The function of the nerves gets obstructed. This results in paralysis of the limbs. At such times, even the pressure of the blood pumped by the heart suddenly rises. The impact of the raised blood pressure sometimes results in heart attacks too.

Fracture :- Another drawback faced by the obese persons, concerns their accidental falls. A lean person, when he falls down, does not get hurt as badly as an obese person does. He runs the risk of breaking his already over-burdened weight bearing joints and spine. Plaster casts, tractions and bed rest only discourage activities of the limbs and the weight keeps on increasing along with the rigidity of the limbs.

Piles :- People who are overweight suffer from one more irksome problem - piles. Constipation is a favourable condition to cause piles among overweight persons. This is more so with those overweight-persons who use the Western type of toilets instead of in the squatting position. Sitting for long periods increases piles. And an obese person is always inclined to sit for long hours.

Snoring - A dangerous nuisance

Obese persons company, many a time, is detested for a variety of reasons on various occasion, especially when it comes to sleeping in the same room with a snorer. This problem is found to be more prevalent in men who start developing a paunch during their middle age. There may be other causes for snoring like some impairment or obstruction in the air passages, but by and large snorers do have a paunch and they do have a tendency to become obese. Their snoring is not only a hindrance restricted to their roommates or spouses but a dangerous health hazard to themselves too.

Drugless Natural Methods for Reducing Weight

Most of us are unaware of the various modes of natural treatment available to us to overcome obesity.

The article to follow will give an insight into these modes and make the process of reducing an enjoyable exercise.

Diet Therapy

Just as the causes for obesity are numerous, so also the natural means for reducing are many. Whatever mode of natural treatment one may choose, it is the diet which gets the pre-eminent position. Hence, it is best that we give diet precedence over other means in seeing how it can help in the control and cure of obesity.

Diet therapy is a scientific way of treating disorders, just by fasting, replacing wrong food with the right one, avoiding certain food items that increase weight, and including some valuable raw food, green and fresh natural food.

Lung diet and stomach diet

We breathe air through the nose which is the diet for the lungs. This needs to be free from pollution of any kind. The air we breathe in overcrowded cities is so highly polluted that people

seek for possible opportunities to get away to a cleaner environment, visit hill resorts, sea shores and open space in search of fresh unpolluted air. We do not appreciate polluted air and even the artificial air of fans for long. We can say that our lung diet on the whole has not degenerated as has our stomach diet. Purest air suits us best even today as a rule, whereas, purest form of food is not liked by most of us.

Just as our lung diet, our stomach diet (the food we eat) also needs to be pure and fresh to nourish our body. But unfortunately it is increasingly getting more polluted and artificial due to overcooking, refining and processing. This is because we relish this type of diet and prefer it to fresh diet. Food, either raw or mildly cooked, which was acknowledged and considered a healthy diet and health diet by our forefathers, is rarely relished today.

For the sake of good health, the need has arisen to reintroduce these healthy foods in our daily life because we are susceptible to ill health and disease due to the practice of eating over-cooked, artificial and processed food which are tasty to our palate, no doubt, but are injurious to our health.

Obesity: A nutritional error

'Any disease enters through the mouth'- is a Chinese proverb. But most of us are reluctant to admit that food, to a great extent, contributes to the development of disease. Obesity is a nutritional error, a malady caused by over-nourishment and faulty nourishment. Obesity is known to be the result of the body getting the wrong balance of essential nutrients.

It is imperative that the essential nutrients the body requires must not be ignored, but regulated when you choose the diet in losing weight. Our body consumes more energy merely to maintain itself, leaving proportionally reduced energy for other activities. Dieting efforts often efforts often fail when the actual need of the body is ignored in the enthusiasm to reduce. Most of the people drastically reduce their intake of food or skip their meals in the assumption that quitting to eat is the surest way to reduce. In their initial enthusiasm, they do lose weight but once they start feeling extremely weak, they get back to eating more than what they used to before dieting and, as a result, gain weight rapidly.

An obese person does not always eat more. Some complain that they do not eat at all for days together or eat very little food or skip many meals in spite of which their weight increases alarmingly. This is due to a variety of other factors already discussed.

Fasting

When our limbs get tired, we rest them by lying down or by keeping them in an elevated position. When our eyes are tired, we simply close them and relax. When even our brain is tired, we sleep to give it rest. Once in every 24 hours, for at least 5 hours, we take recourse to sleeping. During sleep, as in wakefulness, all our physical actions are controlled by our will. In case of sleeplessness, we even induce sleep through different means, including, of course, by the intake of drugs. The activities of speech, sight, sound and smell are controlled and relaxed during our sleep. But our heart, lungs, kidneys and digestive organs do not rest even when we sleep.

Their functions cannot be controlled by will. Unless our night meals are light and consumed two to three hours before bed time, the load on the stomach and other digestive organs like liver, intestines etc. becomes too much. During sleep, the body is limp and inactive, whereas mobility and activity aid digestion to a greater extent.

Besides being the simplest method, fasting is also nature's complete remedy for losing weight. Whatever the cause for obesity, fasting provides the surest cure. Every community in our country, without exception, recommends fasting. This is because of the therapeutic value of fasting, which is the surest remedy in almost all conditions, especially obesity.

Fasting, however, is much misunderstood by one and alL We nurse in our minds a misconception about the value of fasting. To understand the value and effect of fasting, let us direct our attention towards its influence on the human organism.

Speaking of fasting, we must know that our body is designed for survival even in adverse conditions. One example is the way it adjusts itself during periods of scarcity. During the World War II, when severe famine occurred, many people found their long lasting chronic diseases cured automatically! Because it is only during such occasions that the accumulated dispensable storage of nutrition in the body, which otherwise poses a threat to a healthy life, gets the opportunity to be utilized in the absence of regular food.

Between fasting and starving

Before we proceed, let us understand the difference between fasting and starving because fasting is always confused with starving. In spite of having three meals a day, we may still starve if the food we take only fills the stomach but deprives our body of the required essential nutrients. This is partial starvation.

In some persons, fasting for more than two days may result in severe anemia and thus their health suffers setbacks. Other severe problems like low blood pressure and low blood sugar, extreme exhaustion, gout, severe headaches and nausea may accompany this, and the weight loss so achieved will not be actually fat reduction, but wasting of muscles. As already mentioned, unless undertaken under expert supervision, fasting is not advisable. A will-power to fast with special drinks is needed in order to avoid getting severe side-effects and health problems.

Fasting gives the much-needed rest to the organs for a better functioning subsequently. Fasting regenerates our body and puts us back in health. This is restoration. Fasting is the constructive way of gaining health. One can fast for even one full month when the body's reserve and stored nutrients feed the organs. So, next time when you come across persons announcing fast unto death, do not pity them or worry about them. Their body reserves will suffice even if they prolong the fast for upto one month !

Starvation occurs only when the storage is exhausted in the process of elimination of the toxic waste in the form of gas, solid and liquid through lungs, bowels and bladder. This will be obvious from the foul breath emanating from the mouth of one who fasts. Their urine and stools will also smell equally bad. You can imagine the consequences of allowing such highly decomposed matter within the body to remain inside. Starvation occurs only during very long fasts.

Reduce Weight by Natural Ways

Obesity or overweight is a condition characterized by excessive deposition or storage of fat in adipose tissues. Over the years it has been a common problem all over the world.

Ayurveda describes eight types of bodies, which are considered bad. Out of the eight, the two that are widely explained are: very thin body and very fat body. It has been proved that out these two those who are very fat have most diseases and troubles. This is because the extra fat puts a strain on the heart, kidneys, liver and the joints such as the hips, knees and ankles. Over weight persons are susceptible to several diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, gout, liver and gall bladder disorders.

The chief cause of obesity or over-weight is often overeating, irregular eating habits and not following the rules of eating including improper mixing of food items in one meal.
