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 have 2 wonderful boys .8 and 6. Unfortunately My stomach is not so wonderful. :(

After being in denial for the last 8 years about my body appearance it is time for the tummy tuck. I have always thought Of this and said to myself "oh I don't need that I am happy with myself".
Truth is I am NOT HAPPY WITH MY STOMACH! I am sick and tired of being asked "How far are you, When are you due, boy or girl, you can not use that machine while pregnant"!!!!!
I never realized how devastating it was to my self esteem.
I work out and I do eat healthy.
Every time I see my stomach I get discouraged and stop and say the hell with it. I do all sorts of classes (zumba, hip hop classes etc) atleast 4 times a week. I do alot of gardening as well. I am active for the most part. Nothing seems to be helping with the loose skin.

I found a few PS i want to check out. I was about to book my surgery with the surgeon I liked BUT I wanted 1 more Ps to check out. As I did not really feel 100% confident with any of them.
I have read nothing but exceptional reviews about him (the one Im going to tomorrow)

I was actually doing some research on the doctor I chose to perform the surgery with to make sure no law suits or what not. Thats how I stumbled upon the doctor I am going to tomorrow. Fate I think. I did find a few negative lawsuits against the other doctor. I hope everything works out tomorrow! I am ready to join the flat side!

I have been reading this site for the last few days. I like that there is an awesome support network here.

I am feeling frustrated for some reason. Maybe a little impatient?

Surgery Is May 23rd! YAY

Excitement over here for sure. I went to my consultation yesterday and I really liked the doctor and his staff. I felt comfortable with them all. Im glad I decided to go there instead of going with one of the other surgeons. I think i wouldn't of been happy.
I must say I really like the support and encouragement on this site. If it was not for this site I would not of even known about the law suits on the other surgeon.
So right now I am feeling excited but I feel like its too good to be true. Is that normal?

I have not had a flat stomach in 9 years! hmm maybe this will make me have a desire for sex? I feel so insecure about my stomach that I ruined my own desire for sex! Anyone experience that? If so were there any improvements after surgery?

My 8 yo knows i am getting surgery and hes fine with it. I dont think he understands. Hes all like "thats cool" My 6 yo lives in Pittsburgh and he is coming down June 28th (will i be healed by then for the most part) for the summer. Now he will freak out about it so I will not tell him. :)

Post Op appt today

I had my post op appt today. Everything went well. Took pics (yuck).
Paid in full.
I am ready to rock and roll my butt right on in the surgery room now! So impatient.
Ready to be on the flat side. I have a lot of support.
I hope the pain isnt that bad as some other ppl have mentioned. Do ya think I will be able to not take the narcotics for the pain? I hate taking them.


I have noticed some of the supply list contains Vitamins..
Why vitamins? What do they do? (Dumb question)

Bad news this week. My oldest brother has passed. The police say its a suspicious death. They think someone encouraged his death. I do not live in the same town as he did so I do not know what happened. It sucks.

Upon extensive research on PS I finally found someone I am comfortable with. He and his staff were awesome. Very welcoming. The office is not too far from my home. He's awesome. Funny too. I definitely recommend him.
