Guest guest Posted August 20, 2001 Report Share Posted August 20, 2001 Tom, you are a bad man! Shame on you for pulling the legs of the unsuspecting innocents! (BTW I am ROFLMAO) Several feet of scars, indeed! Dr. Anthone supports your position, however, as he advised me " Most of our patients aren't interested in wearing bikini's anyway " . Nan E Hi Debbie: > Now my question, if it is true that an open > ds is faster (less anesthesia) than the lap > ds and if most (?) have a tummy tuck after > their weight loss then why opt for lap? Psychology plays a HUGE role in the choice of lap vs open. Those who adamantly argue for lap seem to have a deepseated fear of the large incision. They see it as some sort of psycho-sexual violation. These people rarely laugh, tend to be loners, and are extremely anal retentive in nature. (Most were potty trained before the age of one.) Four of the criminals on the FBI's current " Ten Most Wanted " list are former lap DS patients -- most of them are wanted for various terrorist activities. Those who argue for open, on the other hand, have a deepseated fear of someone trying to sew up their insides using a pair of chopsticks and with only a flashlight for illumination. They see the open incision as a chance to expose themselves to the world through new experiences. They are highly social, intelligent, generous, are much more attractive than their pro-lap counterparts, and are secure in their knowledge of their true selves, (thus they have no need to worry about the effect of the scar on their looks). > Also if you have lap and get the 4 or > 5 holes then get tummy tuck are the > scars left on the stretched portion of > skin? Absolutely. Not only that, but when the skin is stretched during the tummy tuck, the scars usually stretch to several times their original length. Many lap DS patients who later have tummy tucks wind up with six or eight FEET of scars crisscrossing their abdomens. ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
