10 weeks PO: And I thought it was over...

My doctor is rated one of the best surgeon in my area. Although a friend recommended the other surgeon from the same clinic, I chose this doctor instead because he was performing the "no-drain" technique. I first went to get information on lipposuccion and he recommended the tummy tuck instead as he said the problem was the skin and not the fat. He really made me feel at ease during the appointment, answering all questions I had, showing me pictures and being very human. He is very young and he got me on that, I trust young surgeons because they usually in the known for the latest techniques and most of all, they are not into old school mentality to make us avoid a bunch of things prior to surgery that are often unecessary. The second pre-op appt was fast but I blamed the fact it was at the end of the day and he was proably tired. Anyway, I didn't care at this point, he made a first good impression and I chose him because of his skills and the results I will get. Same thing when he saw me after the surgery, not much to say, he looked at my tummy and said it was healing great. I guess the problem is you have to get prepared to ask questions, if not, he will not go beyond and tell you. He simply thinks you know and made some research prior to. He will tell you the important stuff, but no extra information. When you ask a question, you think he will elaborate, but the answer is usually a yes or a no. I wished he would have told me about muscle repair and how it works because that was my main problem and never mentionned it. I had to so some research myself and realized it after the TT. Anyway, I still highly recommend him because at the end, it's the results that count and he is truly competent. However, I would advise you to get fully prepared and ask all the questions you may have.
