Are you happy with the panniculectomy results?

Thanks! That's all been similar to my thoughts. I'm glad you like your results. You look great.
The scar doesn't bother me since I have one from my full RNY. I joke that with the hip to hip scar, I'll have a smiley face with my breaststroke as the eyes.

I've booked the Fleur-de-lis for June 10! Eek!

Thank you!!!! I wish the 2 Docs could have given me as clear as explanation as this!

Thanks. I greatly appreciate your perspective. I thought I knew what I needed to do (FDL) but my second opinion had me very confused.

18 years ago, I had a RNY. I lost 124 lbs. I kept most of it off until the last 3 years when I gained about 45 pounds. I have been successful in losing weight that additional weight and am back with 5 pounds of my lowest weight!
I did not have plastic surgery 18 years ago and it's my biggest regret. Now that I am stable in weight, I'm looking at plastic surgery.
I've talked to 2 Docs. And I'm confused and torn.
Doc#1 says Fleur. He says that I don't have much back skin/fat. He can pull the skin forward and tighten it. I have a pronounced belly that hangs quite low and I get heat rashes/yeast infections frequently. Doc#1 says that Fleur should be a great solution. He said it will also take care of my sagging mons. (Which I really want gone!) He will also tighten my abs after nearly 50 years of weight gain and loss.
Doc#2 says to do a panniculectomy and Lipo around the sides. She feels this is the best option as my frame is not necessarily curvy and she could not be sure of getting a flatter tummy.
Let's assume, this is all out of pocket cost. I like both Docs. Which would you choose and why?
I could use some insight and advice!
Thanks
