Panniculectomy pain and recovery..worth it?

Ok im scheduled to have this done in 6 weeks with Dr Reddy in Atlanta but Im worried about the results and whether its worth it or not. My panni is BIG..like hangs to my upper thigh and I dont know if anyone has good results when its that big. Any advice would be hugely appreciated!

I am assuming he is a plastic surgeon. Ask him to see some pictures of patients who have had the surgery. 

So how did that surgery go 6 months ago? I am sure there are others out there that can benefit from your experience and advice post op, it seems to be a question many have but don't ask. Hope it went well.
