I am on the fence about which one of these i should do.

i hear the tuck is a better solution, but the panni is covered by insurance. I had once consult already about the tuck, and another on mon for the panni.. any experienced post surgery folks out there have any ideas.., maybe had one and wish they had the other?

Maybe see if insurance will cover the panni, and you just pay the difference for the extra costs involved with the tuck?

I like the way you think 😉

I would go with the tuck. The panni is just administrative there is no artistry and if you ever watch skin tight of 600 lb life they only show them after with clothes..that's because their only job is to remove the skin, not to make it look good. ....why get it and then get another surgery and put your bod through it. because there would probably be a deductible or co-pay. You have worked so hard and you want to feel good about your body. would suggest just the tuck. I've been following Dr. Omar Lazos on Facebook. He specializes in those of us who have lost a lot of weight from weight loss surgery. Talk about Artist. Google him @Jazzy1125 I follow him and I just had my weight loss surgery so i have over 100 lbs to go but I plan to go to him after. He fixes everything. The thighs, the fupa, (fat upper pubic area) the everything!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
