One surgeon I spoke to ,who I really like, said that she won't do more than one procedure at a time. Any thoughts about this? The LBL sounds very involved, painful and expensive. Just looking for thoughts/opinions. Thanks.

My surgeon did a Tummy Tuck with a hip to hip incision and also did a ventral hernia repair. Since the original and many revisions of the hernia mesh, I had vertical tucks and another horizontal a year from the first TT. My doc wouldn't do a full body lift. He says in a year or so, he will do the thigh lift and pull up the rear a bit. I am sure after getting a consult, your surgeon will be able to tell you what will work best for you.
