Guest guest Posted August 19, 2001 Report Share Posted August 19, 2001 Some of you may know I was scheduled for a lap/ds on July 17th then broke my ankle and had to postphone surgery till late fall/early winter . . . this is not a good thing cause now I have way too much time to worry and read and well there is just so much information, I would have been better off had it been done already! 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? Is the incision for tummy tuck in same place as open incision? Am I missing something here? 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? I know these may sound like real cart before the horse questions but I really have been thinking about this alot Debbie Pre-Op (as soon as I lose the darned cast) Dr. Ren NYU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
