Question:
I have had 2 children and a lot of excess skin should I have a tummy tuck

Should I have a tummy tuck at the same time as my WLS.I heard that the more excess skin you have weighing the inscisions from your surgery down the more it hurts.    — ROBERTA S. (posted on May 11, 2002)

Hi there My thinking would be that if your gonna loose a whole bunch of weight why have the tummy tuck now???? you would just probably need another one,,,,but if the insurance will only pay for it to be done WITH the surgery by all means go for it,, some do have the panni removed at time of surgery if extremely large like in the 600 plus pound and higher catagory,,but they have to redo it after weight loss again i would talk to your dr and see what he says good luck!!!!!!bbd
