Sum pics from my disappointing follow up yesterday :(


Had Full TT on May 31st 2013 and so disappointed...

Had Full TT on May 31st 2013 and so disappointed UGH. 7 years ago before I got pregnant I weight 130lbs the day I gave birth I was 206 so with a 76lb gain at 5 ft tall u can imagine how disgusting I felt. I was so ready to get out of those yoga pants and put on a pair of blue jeans so, With alot of hard work, determination, and 7 yrs later I was pretty much down to my pre baby weight but with alot of extra skin. I had already decided at year 5 I was going to go through with surgery and saved every penny I could to have the surgery. FINALLY after two years of saving it was time. I went in for my consultation with Dr. Swank of Hickory, NC I had done my research for years now so I knew exactly what I wanted and what I wanted my results to be. I told him that my main concern was my sides and could not wait to wear a pair of blue jeans. I told him with the research I had done and pictures I had reviewed that I thought I needed a full extended TT with lipo to the flanks and back but he said he didn't feel that way at all that he thought he could give me the results I wanted with just a full TT and no lipo because I didn't have a whole lot of fat. Well, after almost 5 months post op I was exactly right it is obvious that I needed exactly what I said because I still have the huge love handles and loose skin on my flanks UGH so depressing. Ohhh did I mention I am still wearing the yoga pants and still NO blue jeans. So, I go in for a follow up today and told him I was unhappy with the results and wanted to have it corrected and done the way I wanted it in the first place and now I am going to have to go though another surgery, take more time off work, and pay more money. Little did I know he is going to charge me 5000 more dollars to extend the TT, lipo the flanks and back. HMMMM do I think I should have to pay that kind of money for result of a TT im not happy with and doing a second surgery exactly the way I said I thought I needed the first time? Absolutely not!!!!! Someone please tell me I am right for feeling this way and give me some info on what I should do from here.
