Now 13 weeks post op. My PS appmt did not go well. My PS had indicated that my final result would be seen at 12 weeks but now wants to wait until 6 months to see how I look. My tummy is not flat. She suggested ab work. I am trying not to be depressed. Even though I look a lot better, the promise of a flat tummy has not come true for me. 4 Plastic surgeons I consulted with all said I was the dream candidate. I talked myself into investing the money because I did think I was going to have an amazing result. There has to be a way to help all of us have realistic expectations. I really tried to educate myself and to talk with the Plastic surgeons about realistic expectations. I checked references, looked at befores and afters. Where did I go wrong? Will post photos in a day or so.

Gracey, maybe I missed a post from you or something but for the life of me, I can't understand why your PS and you are unhappy with your results. I think you look great. I have a large rib cage so there is no way I can be completely flat, bones are just there. And I have a tiny pooch, depends on the time of day etc but I am satisfied. Are you being too hard on yourself possibly? I know there are day that I am. And it's also on those days that I have gotten so used to seeing myself this new way that I forget what I used to look like. Put your pictures side by side and tell me if you are unhappy with your results. I don't think you will be.

You look amazing! In the pictures your stomach is flat, and looks perfect. I wouldn't go back for more surgery- you look great, and I hope I look as fabulous as you when I'm a few months out.
Congrats..you look fab!! :)
