Abdominoplasty vs. Panniculectomy

I had a consult with a Plastic Surgeon yesterday to discuss my excess skin on my stomach. It has caused rashes and infections for the past 8 months. I was thinking that I would just get the panni, but he told me I have a hernia and that I would need to have abdominoplasty to tighten the unlining muscles to reduce the risk of another hernia. Did anyone else get this opinion from a PS? I am currently 10 months out with 20lbs left to lose.
