panniculectomy surgery

Has anyone had a panniculectomy done? Is it very painful and can you provide names of good plastic surgeons that will do this in the Minneapolis /St. Paul area?

Thanks

Sorry can't help ya I carry my sharpe's with me everywhere, they are good company.

I am scheduled for a lower body lift and breast lift on Tuesday Dec. 1 with Dr. Fasching.  I have a panny (not sure if it is considered big or small as each of us is different). 

I also had a consult with Dr. Gervais for a lower body lift.  Both appear to be competent Dr's and have good results and I would have been comfortable with either of them for my surgery.  They each have websites with pictures and their credentials.  Check them out and if they are of interest to you, go for a consult.
