Stomach not flat after Tummy Tuck? (Photos)

MM5813
I am almost 2 mos out from umbi float TT w/ hernia/MR. Before surgery, i was very fit/athletic but had a huge diastasis that made me look pregnant. When i feel for diastasis now, i can feel the sides of my muscles come together as i crunch up (similar to before, though not as severe). Is that normal? Shouldnt they be together before i crunch up? My PS says i need to do core work to get a flat stomach. I was under the impression that's what i was paying him for. Should i seek a 2nd opinion?
