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.

I had a child when I was 19. I gained alot of weight when I was pregnant. Which caused horrible stretch marks and saggy skin. I have put up with for years. I work out 4-5 days a week. I have done insanity, p90x. But the skin is still there. I decided i was not going to be happy until I had a tummy tuck. I had my tummy tuck yesterday, Jan 16th. I did not have lipo or muscle tightening. My PS said I had goo muscle tone and no fat. I am feeling pretty good. There is some discomfort and burning sensation near my incision. I have been camped out on the couch but getting up to walk around living room every few hours. So far so good.

I was able to take off the dressing today and sponge bath. yay! I was so nervous to see my stomach for the first time. OMG I love it. i couldnt be more happier. I had so many stretch marks so I knew I was still going to have some, but I can't believe how tight and smooth it is! I am so happy. I am not as in much pain and am moving around alot.
The pain meds have also stopped me up so I sent my boyfriend out for MOM and prune juice. As I have been reading other reviews and this seems to help.. So I am waiting!

So I am freaking out. I have been doing pretty well up until this point. I took my dressings off this morning a revealed my belly. Had two BM after taking the MOM and prune juice. WOOO let me tell you. Lucky I was near the bathroom that stuff works really well.
I am starting to freak out about the binder and swelling. I am extremely swollen which I wasn;t this morning. Am I doing something wrong? I dont know if my binder is tight enough or to tight? Does that effect swollen? My boyfriend also thinks i may be dehydrated from the bathroom trips, so I just sucked down three glasses of water.
Overall I can't complain but all this swelling is scaring me

I was recommend to Dr Birely from a friend. My first visit I felt comfortable and wanted him as my surgeon. He answered all questions and made me feel very comfortable.
