OK anxiety level here is extremely high but I just posted my ETT pics and I need your advice/opinions....I am 6 months post op and I am NOT happy with my results.  Yes I look alot better then pre op but I expected better.  My skin is getting really loose and I can grab extra skin and I still have a muffin top, my sides are gross...only thing I like is my scar.  Please take a look and tell me what you think.  I go back in April to set up a date for my BL/BA and I want to discuss my concerns with my PS but I don't know how to express to him that I am not happy with my results.  I think he'll say "You look alot better then before"! 

You have to be a friend to look at pics so add me as a friend please and tell me what you think

Thanks :)

 I would tell him just that, "I am not happy with my results." You do look better than before but I would be unhappy with the hanging skin too. He could probably revise it pretty easily.

 It would be completely reasonable for you to tell him your concerns! This is what revisions are for, and I absolutely think this is something that could probably be fixed pretty easily!

 Patty, under a signature is a row of things like "reply".  There is also a tab for "add as friend".

Hope that helps!

 Hi Pam, first, I think you look fantastic.  I can see the skin that you're talking about,  I have the same thing at three months post op.  Your surgeon definitely improved your tummy.  You shed 134 pounds and probably had a lot of extra skin.

Some surgeons pull really really tight. Others do not.  My surgeon didn't either.  I feel so much better than I did before.  I'm 61 and my skin was pulled out of shape for decades. Only you can decide what you can/want to live with.

I think that the way to talk to him is to just be honest about what you think.  Maybe he can do something when he does your BL?
