You might be unhappy with your upper tummy if he doesn't do the " T "

incision. You can't pull all of the stuff up around the diaphragm (just

under the breastbone) tight from the " thong " area. It's called a

panniculectomy. I'd never do a belt all at one time.....do the front, and

then the back. And by all means, get some other opinions and get really

educated......you want to avoid a repeat, if possible.

When you have the abs tightened, and all of the skin, you are hunched forward

for awhile. You sleep in a sitting position, bent forward to not pull so much

on the muscles and incision. The incision above the butt pulls in the opposite

direction.

Also, when you have major body re-construction, it seems there's always some

touching up needed at corners, etc. Doing it in stages would allow them to

tweak earlier stuff.

I know some people do it all, but I just personally would not.
