Totally Ignorant newbie to this board
I am looking into getting that obnoxous flabby apron of skin removed from my lower belly.
I've read references to a "panni" and a "TT"
what is the difference?
And do which do I need? (I can tak a pic and post if it helps)
I'll have to pay myself and plan to go to Mexico because of the price difference. I had my VSG in Mexico and was quite satisfied with everything.
Thanks for your support.

Even if you are going to go to Mexico, I suggest you get some 'local' consults.
I had 3 consults and they were all free, and I learned a little bit at each one that made me ask better questions at the next one.
I got written quotes that are good for 6 months -- and was able to make my decision based on several factors -- price, surgeon, staff, referrals from other patients.
I did not go with the cheapest price ----- I went with the surgeon that I have the highest confidence in.
You might be surprised that a local surgeon (or residency program as Heidi suggested) is just as affordable as travelling out of country.
