Gut Tuck; Yes or No??

Joe, I was very lucky in that I had very little excess skin. Just a little roll at my waistline. It did cause a few rashes/irritations. Since I had had the worst of luck with all previous surgery, I was dead set on NOT having any PS to remove extra skin. It took three different Dr.s saying- "You really just need to Do This." Before I even entertained the idea. I was Super "anal-retentive" in selecting the surgeon And finally agreed to have the minimal Panniculectomy done. Fortunately, my insurance paid for every cent. Wow! I’m So Glad I did it. The difference it has made is far beyond what I expected. I guess I thought that there would be a little change. It was a Huge Change. My panniculectomy was the easiest surgery ever. Less of a hassle than a drive-thru order at Burger King. I had little pain and great results. Clearly, quite a difference from All of my previous surgeries. The swelling did last about 5 months longer than I was expecting. I guess I thought by the end of the 3 weeks All would be "back to Normal." That is not typical. Pain was minimal, but swelling drove me a little crazy. That was 2 summers ago. Now? I’d run buck-azzed nekid through the town to get a running jump On to the operating table for my PS. Others have different opinions based on their experience. Mine is definitely in the - "I’d do it even if I had to pay for it Twice!" column. So yeah, but me down as a "Yes." Hope all works out great for you. Best Wishes- Dx
