I am starting to think about a panniculetomy sometime in the future and

am wondering why the TT and Panni are not feared as far as complications and death like the WLS surgery is? It seems like no one really "freaks out" like we did before the WLS. Is it because most of us are healthier when we have the plastics/reconstructive surgery? Or is it because the morbidity (death) rat is less? Or is it because we are just braver after having WLS surgery? I would really like to hear that the morbidity rate is less! But it seems like the TT and Panni would be just as invasive and scary as the open rny because of the big cut. Please advise.
