Yes, I have, and I'm very impressed with the doctor. At first I thought there was gonna be a language barrier, but his English was fine. He told me all about the surgery and also that there were some risks, which pleasantly surprised me because usually doctors don't want to talk about it. So he was honest and polite. They also offered me some appointment this year, but I decided to have the surgery in January, so it will be at the end of the month:-))

Don't worry, I have quite a list of questions. And I should have a consultation with Dr Dychus:-) I've seen some of his work on social media and I like it.

Sample letters of appeal following a panniculectomy can be found with a quick internet search. Get online, read some letters, then put together your own response.

Don't be shy about asking anything. I had so many questions that I remember feeling pretty stupid asking some of them. But the doctor was very nice and explained everything to me. Who are you consulting with?
