$9,000
I never expected perfection, that's just unrealistic. As I was researching the procedure of course I had alot of questions and one was would I need an extended TT and I was told no. Not at 1 PO appt was the fact that I had alot of losse skin after the surgery ever mentioned. He was able to pick up and grab quite a bit of skin on both sides and the back. This appt for today was a touch up for about 100ccs on each side. I called tody to see if that would get the results desired and after eval that lipo wouldn't achieve the results. I got a TT w/ lipo b/c I was told it would compliment the TT for a better contoured shape. My stomach is fairly flat except when I sit down, I have quite a chunky roll. My love handles sit on top of my panties and pants no matter if they are lose or not. Now in order to get rid of the love handles I have to get scar extended on both sides and have more lipo, this requires me to go back under anestesia, which is terrifying to me. He's waving his fee but with anestesia, facility fees and insurance I have to come out of pocket $2400. I had the worse time at the appt, his ladies at the front kept trying to reschedule me even though I said in plain english that I wanted to ask the dr questions. They really pissed me off, I'm like what are you rescheduling me, I have an appt right now. The dr walked by and didn't say anything to me until he started walking to the back and told me to come in...it was unprofessional and rude. I mean this is the person I trusted my health too. He really made me feel more like a burden stating that he only has about 2 cases a yr with issues. It's hard to believe he cares although he says he does. I want to be done with this already, I'm so bummed. Im not normally sensitive but I cried at the appt and left upset and told the "money" lady that I'd probably have to just stay disappointed after she gave me the quote." She said sorry and I walked out. I doubt if they or the dr will call me discuss anything or make this right. I just want what I paid $9K for...a flat stomach and no love handles.

I'm really bummed right now I don't believe my surgeon cares as much as he says he does. I'm frustrated and very upset at this moment.

PO Day 26 and I'm rocking jeans today. I was sitting around bored and thought to myself that I should try on clothes. I picked up a pair of jeans and instantly thought it was a bad idea...but THEY FIT!!!. Now I'm wondering when I was actually able to get into them since this is the first time I've even tried on real clothes since surgery. Swelling still sucks and one side is bigger than the other and my lower belly sticks out from the swelling.
