vertical or bikini cut?

How does the doctor decide? Is one better than the other? What if you have a fat belly like me? My pain became so much worse after my last child (1994) that I just stopped walking and things like that. My belly is definitely jelly.

Hey Angie...

I asked basically the same question recently and got several good responses. Here is the link to that thread:

Hope this helps...

.... thanks for that link! My doctor told me he would be cutting me bikini style (and I laughed - me and a bikini make a good match, no).
I'm hoping that it'll be OK for me!
