[edit] request for more information

It would sure be nice to learn more about this condition in the way of treatment options. I have a very large friend who has this problem very badly. It would be nice to know what the prognosis is and how to find a specialist who deals with treating the pannus —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.204.90 (talk) 04:04, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

See plastic surgery, and most likely abdominoplasty. Note that this is almost always (99%+) considered optional surgery for aesthetic reasons and is therefore not covered by health insurance. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
