90 Days Post-op Abs and Flanks. Slow Progress and Still Sore - King of Prussia, PA

I'm a healthy white male. This was my 50th birthday gift to myself. I know it's still too early to know the results but they kept telling me I'd be back to work in 2 days. Yeah, I can work, but it's uncomfortable as hell.
I did see immediate results the next day. I probably gained a few pounds, probably from swelling, but all in all I'm 9 pounds lighter than pre-surgery. I'm nowhere near where I hope to be when this is all over but I have faith it's going to turn out fine.
My only two complaints are the persistent soreness of my entire abdomen and, when I go for my follow-up visits, I never get to see a doctor.

You used the same doctor I did. I totally agree with your opinion on the her. She was very thorough with her examination and was extremely kind during the procedure. She assured me she would do an awesome job because she would "work on" me the way she would want to be worked on herself. I went for a follow up yesterday - this means it was 10 days post for my arms and bra fat and only 5 days post for abs & flanks. The nurse said I was healing great but I also wish I was seen by the doctor herself. I am still very sore in the abs and hip area and even the arms but nothing I can't handle. I wear my garment all day except for maybe 30 minutes just to get a "break". I can see a difference even with the swelling, it's just hard for me to picture the end result right now. I didn't take any before pictures myself but wish I had. I can only go by what's in my file at the doctors office; which I aked a copy for, of course. Well, I'll keep updating my progess. Good luck to everyone too!
