did you have a tummy tuck/panniculectomy/LBL?

Hi guys, sorry to bother again. Clearly I am in the research phase and getting serious about doing this already. However I am SUPER overwhelmed. Similarly to how i felt when looking into WLS. But then I had a friend's mom who had done it and she guided me through it and gave me so much information and it was very helpful. All the info out there is overwhelming. Having someone who's been through it tell me about their experiences and giving me advice makes it a lot more digestible. So if you have had this done and you're willing to sort of share your experience/knowledge with me, please message me! :) You have no idea how much I would appreciate it.

Thanks bunches,

Meli
