Whitney, I just want some areas tightened up a little further. Since he removed SO much skin the first time around he was a little conservative. With that much skin being removed it isn't unusual to have to go back and refine some areas. Things are so swollen that it is hard to tell what the finished product will be. Now that the swelling is gone I have extra skin still under my arms and down in my pubic area. So those are the areas he will tighten up further. He told me he would do it all for $600 total cost so I decided to go for it. 
When I had my original surgery I was told that revisions aren't unusual. So I went into my first surgery expecting this. Just a little nervous that this is under local and that I will be awake. I'll just make sure I keep my eyes closed. *L*
Everyone else, thanks for your thoughts and well wishes. I appreciate them.
