TUMMY TUCK SOON W/ RESULTS OF DOGS EARS

Hi, I am one year out from WLS and time for a tummy tuck. I have a PS in Boston at Beth Isreal and was wondering if anyone can share their experience w/ their TT that resulted w/ dog ears? Do they bother you when you wear pants? I heard you can have them removed in office? Does insurance cover it and how much if not? How bad was your pain? I am a medical secratary and is 2 1/2 weeks off plenty? thanx for your time and help Jeannine

HI Jeanine, I'm just beginning this journey at 11 weeks post op - so I'm stumped by the term "dogs ears" - can you elaborate for me please ? Thanks. Joyce

Joyce, I am also fairly new, but I think it means that, after a tummy tuck, they cut across and remove excess skin, but it leaves little handles near your hips. Carrie
