Re: Men w/ abdominoplasty

[Guest guest]

I had a panni in Oct. . .

I had a sack above the boys that developed but nothing was every done. I don't

know that it's fluid or just the way things where reshaped when I was on the

table and shifted once I started to walk?????

My PS said that when i have my abdominaplasty it would be taken care of. I had

my TT at 350 lbs == only reason was to avoid re-herniation . . . . once the

hernia was repaired that 20lbs would have pulled on it and cause a problem.

Anyway - i guess he needs to be careful . . if its fluid it may cause an

infection . .and you dont' want that down there. Yes it may need to be drained

- but tell him he's a big boy and they would get anywhere near Mr. Lucky whent

hey do it . .at least I hope not . .
