For ur TT, did you have the anchor incision? Happy?

Hello all! I just went for a consult with a plastic surgeon. I went through my list of concerns, including a tummy tuck. I was surprised to hear that he recommended a vertical incision! I started out at about BMI 42 or so and my weight was pretty evenly distributed. I was concerned about my upper abdomen and have read posts about some people not happy with their upper ab results after a TT, so perhaps it is hard to get the upper abs flat. After touching and pulling my skin the surgeon thought to really get the upper part I'd need a vertical incision. I'm concerned - do I want a scar? Do I want a flat tummy I can't show? Do I want a "not perfect" tummy I can't show either? I'm just kind of in shock because I did not expect it for the BMI I started at. I wondered about other people's experiences, in particular, if you got a vertical incision and if you were happy with the end result and not too upset about the scar.
