Wow! I can't believe the difference!

I forgot that I had this account and came across it today! I am so happy that I shared my story. It has been awhike since I had, my tummy tuck and here are a few things that I can complain about (but I am just being picky)... (1) I believe I should have lipo since I have "little" humps on the front of my stomach on the left and right side (not love handles!). (2) my scar on one side is high and shows with a two piece. bUT to be honest I am too old to wear a two piece so... Who cares?!?
It has been a great journey. I would do it over and over again and have no regrets.

Well I am not happy today. I hope It is a case of...

Well I am not happy today. I hope It is a case of me being picky. I have noticed lately that my "love handles" exist now. I have done a little research on this site and found that many people who had a full tummy tuck and did not get lipo believed that their flanks were swollen. However, it turns out that all of these people should have gotten lipo on their flanks, and send s they didn't that they see their love handles more now than before. It is stated that since your stomach is flatter and tighter you see your flanks more, and that is why many PS offers lipo during a tummy tuck. My PS said "we'll anyone can use lipo, but I don't think you do. I wouldn't spend $1000." Well I am now wishing I did. I do NOT want to go under anesthetic again.
Also my incision is extremely high on my right side.my cut is like a half of a smile. My underwear and pants do not hide it. Of course I didn't realize it until now because I didn't wear my undergarment for about 2 hours today.
I see my PS on Wednesday and I have many concerns. I want him to know that he did a great job and I am happy but I am not satisfied with the end results so far. I hope he can offer me more options and ways to get what I want.

So today during class I had one of my students...

So today during class I had one of my students ask, "do you have one of those girdles on?" I replied, "Why you see a zipper or something?" She said, "No." I couldn't continue with the conversation because it was during class as I was walking around and helping my students, but I so wanted to ask, "why do I look skinnier, or is it my stomach looks flatter?" I am hoping that this question was in terms of me looking flat and that my stomach doesn't have rolls anymore lol(;
I still don't get any positive remarks from my friends or family that knows about the surgery. Instead they tease me that my butt looks bigger now. I think a lot of my swelling went down and am wondering if it is due to the amount of days from recovering or if it is the bromelian pills (pineapple extract) that I just started taking. I am happy someone mention these pills on this site because I never heard about it until now.
Hope everyone else is doing well.
