Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Thank You, RS
Happy to see that RS is moderating well. A comment from a troller made it to my inbox and before I could even report it, RS had already removed it from my review feed. Thanks!
Now, while we're on the subject of RealSelf, I have a couple of suggestions... I have poured and poured over reviews but it is labor intensive when it doesn't have to be. For instance, I have to start over from the top of the page every time I finish a review, rather than going back to where I left off. Also, more robust search capabilities would be fantastic! For instance, if I could search for someone in the range of my age, height and weight, that would be SUPER helpful. :)
Just a couple of suggestions. I truly appreciate this site and what it has to offer. The community support is priceless.

Tic Toc
Just a quick update. I am now down to 162 lbs and getting closer to my surgery date. I don't think I'll make it down to 150 lbs, but I feel good and have been eating healthy and working out, so here we go...
Still Approved After Switching Doctors
I was able to switch my surgeons without too much hassle from Aetna. I did have to call several times to get someone who could actually answer my questions... Basically they keep the same case open and you have to get the original doctor to ask them to switch it to the new doctor. It's important for them to keep the same case number because if a new case is open, they have to do the entire approval process again. I consider myself very lucky to have gotten an approval in 7 days and then to be able to switch surgeons with relative ease.
Surgery is May 19th. So now we wait and prepare. Going to try to lose as much weight as I can before the big day. And looks like we'll do the tummy tuck as well.
