Had a full TT with muscle plication 6/10/13. Payed for full TT with plication and lipo to flanks but doc said I didn't need flanks done. I have been so depressed behind this surgery. My stomach is still protruded like I'm 6m pregnant plus I have love handles. I gave my concerns to doc and he said I have to fix it myself. I have to suck my stomach in just to have a flat stomach in my clothes but my sides hang over my clothes. A real waste of money and time. My bf says it looks like he did nothing but cut off the little lose shin I had at bottom. It's sad. Then doc say I gotta fix it myself. So what did I pay him for!!!! Had Pam done on breast also they are fine but the TT was not good at all. I'm 5'6 , 150 lbs. and he made me feel like I didn't know any better by telling me to fix something that I payed him my hard earned money for!!!!! I emailed runnels center and based my concerns and his asst. say voice my concerns cause he want to please me but he wasn't trying to hear my concerns cause every time i said something he'd just say " well u gotta fix that yourself!!!! Not caring at all!!!! Then he asked to suck my stomach in and he said " looks nice and flat". I know I'm not crazy but I shouldn't have to suck stomach in to have a nice flat stomach. He made me feel like I was ignorant !!!!!! Hoping he will fix problems !!!!!

I would definitely get a 2nd opinion from another PS! You should not have to suck in your stomach..... that's why people get TTs cuz they DON'T want to have to suck it in and hide it in our clothes!!!

wow. Silly question... But did you wear the abdominal binder for awhile? I feel so badly for you. At this point you may have to start with a clean diet, no salt. Lots of water. That will help the bloating a bit. I can't believe you have that much loose skin though. By the look of your scar it looks like he did do a full TT. Sending you a big hug and suggesting you get a second opinion.

Yes. I wore the binder till he told me I could take it off and wear compression garment. Was off work for 8wks. Lots of downtime with not so good results!!!! I emailed the center and touched basis and she said that the doc said he was sorry for telling me to fix it myself and that he will do again to make me happy.

Big decision for you Jazzy. I just keep coming back to "wow". If it were me, I would wait 6 months - eat clean and exercise and give your body a chance to heal. That's such a BIG surgery to have a do-over. What's your plans? I am totally supporting you in any route you take. (Huge bear hug)

I just want good results. Hate to have to go through it again bc I was nervous from the beginning. And not to mention the downtime. I'm just so confused, and angry cause I really want to get what I payed for. I've seen better results on a 300lb woman!!!! Smh

He's doing it for free just like I'm going in for a new surgery!!!! I'd rather pay to have it right cause I'd hate to have a 3rd surgery!!! Hope this resolves my issues !!!! Exhale (so anxious)!!!!!
