Single Mother Who Lost 70 Pounds (The Right Way) and Saved Money for Dissatisfied TT Results. Columbus, OH

He was nice, but the only time I seen doctor B was the day of my consultation when he took pictures to submit to my insurance company. The next time I seen him was minutes before they rolled me into surgery. He came in to make an "X" above my belly button and another below while I laid on the cart. I felt like I was being rushed through an assembly line. Post-op surgery I was shocked to see "dog ears" and an incision line so high I started crying. I was told he should have drawn markings of his intentions directly on my abdomen as he explained the plan for my TT to me (prior to the day of surgery). I voiced my concerns right away and at each follow up visit after. He told me to give it a while to heal and allow the swelling to go down. I was nervous and upset but very very patient. When the result of waiting was unsuccessful, he told me to lose 10 more pounds (which would put me at a weight of about 145 #). I lost the 10 or 12 more pounds as he instructed still with no real significant improvement. He finally admitted that I would in fact need a revision. He said he could correct the problem for another $5,000. I am so hurt! I'm still unable to wear a 2 piece because of the dog ears and the high incision scar. However, that's the least of my worries. I Struggle daily getting ready for work. I can only wear dresses, skirts and tops that hang loose or have a high waist with a flare, otherwise the dog ears bulge out through my clothes. I also have difficulty finding pants/shorts that camouflage or hide them. I lost over 70 pounds 7 years ago and I've worked hard to keep it off. I eat right and my children and I live an active lifestyle after years of being overweight. $10,000 later im back to wearing a girdle everyday of my life to hide the results of my tummy tuck. Approximately $6,000 of that was my own out of pocket cost that I sacrificed to save a little at a time for years...yes years! I have no idea when I'll be able to come up with the money to have it corrected. I would recommend you take your swim suit with you to your first visit and on the day you have surgery. I would also recommend you have your surgeon mark exactly where he'll cut and where the incision will fall the first day you meet him. I'd also ask what happens if you'd need a revision and if there is a charge for the correction.
