47 and Finally Saved Enough Money for TT

I have been dreading making this update because I didn't want to admit it to myself so here it goes.....I am 3 months (almost 15 weeks) post op and still look about 4 months pregnant. Dr says not much he can do and that I need to lose some weight with diet and exercise if I want to see better results. If I was good at dieting and exercising I wouldn't have had to do this surgery in the first place! Although I know I look better than what I started, I saved for two years for this surgery and would like to have a flat stomach after going through surgery, recovery, and spending over $8,000 I don't think that is too much to ask. On my last visit he did say he might be able to do a little more lipo and a possible small revision but how do I trust him at this point? I can't afford to do this all over again - ugh I am so upset - why me? I tried to stay positive throughout this thing and now I am regretting my decision to go through Athenix and not a regular PS. What do you guys think?

Ok RS friends I need your support - I have tried very hard to be patient and positive and I am feeling frustrated with this swelling. I am 5 weeks post op should I still be so swollen? Dr said it is normal but of course he is going to say that. Having a moment of weakness and looking 4 mos pregnant. On a good note still look better than I started but after going through all of this I am still waiting for a flat stomach - grrrr

Feeling great - still have a lot of swelling below my BB which gets a little frustrating but I just keep telling myself it will go away. Hope everyone else is doing good with recovery and your overall journey!
