10 W/po and Looking Forward to a Revision - Greensburg, PA /B&A

I've been on this site for a while, mainly reading reviews and peeking at pics. Now i'm deciding to add my own experience. Before getting my tummy tuck I weighed in at 196 and i'm 5'1. I had 2 consults and decided to go with my second pic which was Dr. Johns mainly because of his credentials, reviews and also price. At the time of my consult I weighed 172 lbs. and decided to schedule my surgery. I got my surgery done Dec. 12, 2012, and noticed by po week 2 there was a problem. I talked to the nurses who informed me that the mess I was seeing while sitting was just swelling. I went along with it, but by 6 weeks po nothing still had changed. Now I am currently at 10 weeks po and gained 2 lbs. No change still. I requested before pics from the office but still haven't received them. It's been 3 weeks, now seriously how long does it take to email them to me??? I'm not happy with my results it's been talked about and we will be discussing a revision at my next visit 3/25. Glad we are on the same page with that. OVERALL a pleasant and understandable Dr. just still waiting to totally be happy with my results and finally be on the flat side! (Will add before pics once received).

Well, well, well, finally got my before and after pics. I am excited! Guess I need to have more patience. These pics gave me some encouragement that I am starting not to regret this. I'm still not liking my front and side view in my upper abdominal area. Unfortunately my belly is still on my lap and still looking forward to discussing my revision in the next few weeks.

Hello. Today was my day to see my plastic surgeon and talk about a revision. Everything went well and we discussed liposuction of my abdomen to correct my upper abdominal bulge. The procedure can be done in the office which saves me on paying OR and anesthesia fees. He says the lipo will flatten my tummy although I will still have some excess skin AKA "muffin top". Now all I have to do is schedule my revision but for now i'm going to put it on hold because I will be going in for a consult for breast augmentation and liposuction of my back. I will let you ladies know of my decision after my consult. Happy healing to you ladies who made it to the flat side, and to the ladies that haven't good luck on your procedures.
