Plus size with what I thought was suppose to be a tummy tuck? (Photos)

Newbooty17
i weighed 220 and 5'4 time of surgery. Didn't see a difference when i woke up. Went home same day. I paid for a full tummy tuck and seem like i had a panniculectomy done. I was able to stand up straight after surgery, no contouring and doesn't feel my muscle was tightened. Everyone looks so different after their tummy tuck including the plus size women. I'm not saying i want a wash board stomach, just want a flatter belly from before. I still have a huge belly. Will this go done or am i stuck?
