I am almost 5months post opp and honestly I am just so disappointed and depressed. There is a difference yes but the whole point of doing this was to get rid of the flabby saggy skin. I most definitely do still have that. So upsetting. Does anyone have the same issue or advice. Crying doesn't seem to be helping. I haven't lost any weight since the day of surgery which really weight isn't my concern. More upset that he was suppose to remove this skin and I'm the same inches around as I was. I just find that odd. Any suggestions? Its not my diet or exercise routine.

Sorry your are not happy with your results. I can see that there is excess skin which should not be there. You do look a LOT better than your before pics, which is good! Thank you for sharing your experience so others will know what to expect from this doctor.

So Monday was my 12 week appointment and 30 minutes before said appointment they call me and cancelled. This was the appointment that he was supposed to check my healing and schedule my 2nd surgery to fix what he messed up. I asked the nurse that called when he would be able to see me bc my surgery was supposed to be next week. He wont be able to see me for 2-3times weeks bc he's going on vacation and he doesn't know anything about a 2nd surgery bc he has to see if my insurance will pay him to do it all over again. How is this possible? This can't be right? He messed up the 1st surgery and did not remove all the skin. I don't see how my insurance would pay him to fix what he messed up especially since I paid for it out of pocket. I do NOT recommend this doctor! I very much feel cheated!
