Has anyone had a panni without underlaying muscles being tightened?

I had my panniculetomy 5 days ago and just found out today at my follow up appt. that my underlaying abd. muscles were not sewn down. I thought that was standard procedure. What was done looks great,All the extra skin was removed and skin tightened up, but I feel cheated. The first 2 surgeons I meet with said that they tighten up the abd muscles so when I meet with the surgeron who actually did the surgery I just assumed that it would be done. My mistake.
