Helen:
The procedure that I had Dr. Liu perform was a panniculectomy. Not an easy word to spell, don’t ask me, but it’s the removal of the excess fat. Some people would call it a tummy tuck. It’s a lot more than a tummy tuck because he actually cuts the fat out in a couple of pieces and sews you back together.
It’s not invasive where you are going to have any problems internally. It’s an external surgery. It was a little bit painful, little bit painful. It took a few weeks to recover from that surgery, but it was something that needed to be done, really was something that needed to be done, and he did a wonderful job of it.
