Could my tummy have been "pulled tighter"??
My stomach was super tight from day one. I never felt like it should have been pulled tighter.

I just sent you a PM to view my pics, if you'd like to see where someone else was at the same point.

Thanks. I basically had an 8-inch wide strip of skin removed. Any stretch marks I had were removed in that strip, thank goodness. My thighs, however, are a different story...blah.

I did not get any lipo. If I ever get my thighs done, I think I will need it there.

Yes, I have felt that way since about week 2 out from my LBL. And yep, I will be having a revision. I still have a good 6-8" of skin that is loose and flappy around my midsection. It hangs when I bend over, I have several rolls when I sit, and even some overhang when I am standing. I am VERY angry about it.... It looks like **** and its definitely NOT what I paid $17,000+ for, plus months of complications, horrible pain & recovery, thousands of $ in complications and losing my job..
