Panni with open hysterectomy?
Hi folks,
In the next month I am scheduled to have an open hysterectomy. I am wondering whether whether they might be able to remove some of the extra belly skin while they are doing surgery. Does anyone have experience with this? It would be a nice 2-for-1.

Do you have a plastic surgeon already? That's the only way it could happen. An obgyn wouldn't do any reconstructive plastic surgery. He'd just do the hysterectomy.
I was having a lot of issues two years back and my obgyn said that if we decided on a hysterectomy, he could do it at the same time as my panniculectomy.
It didn't work out in the long run, but that's all the real life experience I have.
I've definitely heard of this happening - really the only way you can find out is by talking to your surgeon and your insurance company.
