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.

Where does time go?
Hello lovely Real Selfer's!
Where has the time gone? 9 months post op and I feel almost like my old self again .
My family and I have had a tough time this year for many reasons ( including bad health & marital issues) but I've been strong & pushed on through the adversity, during this time, my exercise has been minimal as is my appetite & im down to 120lbs , not really happy about it as I have lost my great muscle definition & need to work on getting it back, all in good time.
I'm still thrilled with my TT results & love being able to wear my clothes without the feeling of a saggy pooch tummy getting in the way! I've even gained two tattoos ( that are actually meaningful and that's s gift to myself after all these months of hard times)
Anyway, time again to get fit, it's nearly Australian Spring here, bring on the outdoor exercise & sunshine!!

Hello ,
I hope you're all well, it has been a huge gap since I last posted, life seems to have happened!! But I thought I should get around to updating.
Still really happy with my TT results! Still can't quite believe that it is the real me, my brain hasn't caught up with the physical change yet.
I haven't gone back into my exercise as aggressively as I would have liked because of being so busy with family & work, & I've had this damn Bronchitis for three weeks which is just clearing now but I do still feel wheezey, my problem is just the frustration really, I want to get out there and get on but my lungs won't let me.
I saw my surgeon for my first post op review in March and he was very pleased with the results! He told me at the appointment that he was also retiring! So I won't be seeing him for any further follow ups!
Anyway, my next goal is to tighten my tummy muscles and get in great shape again, it will be hard as the days are long and cold now we're into Autumn here in Australia... But I will give it a good go!

10weeks &1 day post op
Hello there lovely RealSelfer's :)
It's been a while since my last post as I've had a few major stresses in my life (still ongoing but getting more manageable) & with the summer holidays being over ( Australia) & my kids going back to school it has been so hectic! I have also started a second job which is still in nursing but a totally different specialty , so my brain is being challenged (in a good way!) & I'm loving the new learning experience!
Anyway back to the reason I'm here! 10 weeks & 1day post op, I really cannot believe it, it feels like so much longer to me! It feels like recovery took forever in the first few weeks with the wound infection, then boom! Back to normal life!
I'm working out 5 days a week, would be more but I literally cannot fit it in with work and family commitments, also I'm still building up my stamina which is slightly annoying as my mind wants to work out longer than my body is capable of! I'm getting the tone back in my legs and I'm thrilled, they seemed to turn jelly like after 3 weeks post op, I like having definition in my body!
I have 29 days left to train for this 12k trail run I've signed up for, I i hope the tummy muscles hold up well! I only wear my compression garment for working out now as we've had some really hot days and to be honest, I'm sick of wearing it!
I see the surgeon in about 4 weeks, very much looking forward to seeing him & seeing what he thinks of my progress, I have a little bit of skin that gets puffy looking near my sternum, I don't know whether it's my natural stomach shape or some excess skin, I suppose the surgeon will answer that for me!
I hope you're all doing well and taking care of yourselves!
