Skin removal at same time as hernia repair
Wondering if anyone has had this or considered it?
I have been using mounjaro since July. Lost approx 30kgs.
I have had a hernia all this time which is more prominent and starting to cause me grief.
Went back to the surgeon and he asked during consultation was I attached to my belly button? Confused I said I hadn't really thought about it... it doesnt have a purpose... lol
He made a comment that whilst he was repairing hernia he could remove some of the excess skin but it would mean I loose my belly button. He made comment that surgery would be an extra 1.5hrs, but overall would be better than possibly removing or having another operation later.
I didn't ask how much (I need to go back and see him next week) to discuss hernia date and if I wanted yo proceed.
My question is... has anyone done this? Did you also have hernia? What was out of pocket cost (I only have hospital insurance)? Would you recommend comments??
Thanks in advance
