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.

3 Months Post OP
I finally hit the 3 month mark. In total, I've lost 17 inches and over 12 lbs. here are the overall measurements to compare:
BEFORE AFTER
Chest 39 35.5
Waist 39 36.0
Hips 44.5 39.25
Some of the challenges I still face. My poor belly button is still not 100%, but very close at the 95% mark. As a reminder, I had a hernia repair and this definitely slowed the healing/blood flow process.
I am not fond of where my upper chest (bottom of rib cage) meets the belly as the difference via side view is more than I like. I have been told this will improve but I suspect not by much since there are internal organs in this area. Also the skin in this area is still very sensitive when cloths brush against. I still wear a support garment - spanx or corset thingie.
Pro pic below. Either the paper undies got bigger or they fit better :)

Happy Aspiration Day! 5 Wks Post Op
Well turns out I had a sermona. It was not very noticeable, but I did have 'jelly belly' when I tapped it. Dr. Stiles removed 220 cc's of fluid from my lower belly area. I had a little fluid last week, but not enough to remove it. This week, different story. She told me I might have to be aspirated a few more times, with less fluid of course.
22 Days Post Op
I found out at my last visit that they suctioned out 1050 cc's of fat and 2192g of tissue. I'm not quit sure about the fat suckage, but the tissue is nearly 5lbs! In total, I am down 14 lbs pre-op.
during my last visit on Tuesday the Doctor wanted to remove the last tube -- because it was very close to coming out/failing on it's own. This AM during belly button maintenance, it failed and filled up with air. Thank goodness my husband has a bit of medical training and was able to remove the stiches and the remaining draining tube-age.
I was happy to get two more days of liquid drainage of about 50cc's daily. Kinda creep-ed out that this will now be reabsorbed into the body.
