Tummy Tuck/ Panni and hernia question

August 27, 2003

Can someone explain (again) please the difference between a Tummy Tuck and a

Panni? Can you tell me when each would be the preferred surgery? Is it

possible to get one and then a year to two later the other?

Also can you tell me what danger there is if the bowel is in your hernia? My PCP

seemed very concerned about the hernia having bowel in it. Today while I was

out I came home and found a message on my machine from my WLS telling me to wait

until I was totally healed from the hysterectomy to get my hernia repair done.

The hernia is bothering me a lot. It would mean waiting until next summer

because I cannot take time from work for another surgery this school year.
