Where were your scar located from your tummy tuck??

I went to the plastic surgeon for the first time on Friday to discuss a full abdominoplasty. Originally (before examining me) he told me that the scar would run from hip to hip (I already knew that) and there would be an incision that would go straight up my chest between by breasts down to my pubic bone!! That kind of freaked me out. I told him that there was NO way I wanted a scar that long so maybe I should only consider a panniculectomy. After examining me, he told me that I didn't have as much loose skin as he thought above my belly button so he would only have to cut right below my rib cage down to my pubic bone. I have done a lot of research on this and haven't read or seen where a plastic surgeon makes that kind of a hug anchor type cut. My question is for those of you who've had a FULL abdominoplasty done, where are your scars?? By the way, I had lap RNY and am down 93 pounds with about 20 more to lose. Thanks for all your help!!
