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 was NEVER slim.......NEVER. Pretty, sexy, funny....
I was NEVER slim.......NEVER. Pretty, sexy, funny.....yes. But, slim? NEVER!
As the years passed I struggled more & more to try and control my weight. After having a GBS in '96, I lost 130 lbs. Then started packing on the weight again during fertility treatment in '03. Was 190 lbs by the time I got pregnant, and 240 lbs when I delivered. Couldn't get the weight off!! Consulted with my surgeon and found that there was a complication that would require me having the GBS all over again. In Jan '07, I had the second GBS and lost 75 lbs. All these trips up & down the scale have left souvenirs I do not want! So, we will be getting rid of this hideous apron and these awful bat wings to start! Having Fleur De Lis TT & brachioplasty (arm lift) on 2/20.

**POD 6** NEW PICS. So far it's been a pretty smooth ride. No real pain to speak of, but, that may have a lot to do with me following the advice of all my TT sisters and staying on top of my meds. PS gave me clearance to shower yesterday at my appointment. So, today, while kids were at school, I took a nice warm shower and washed away all the post-op yuck. I finally looked at all my incisions. I am VERY swollen today. I am pleased with the TT incisions. Nice & low and very even in the hip area. My arms look pretty bad though. Especially the right one. Took some pics of the TT. Will post arm pics soon.

**POD 8** Feeling much more alert and "normal". However, I think I may be in what's referred to as "swell hell". Last night I was in so much discomfort that I had to take off my binder and arm wraps.....even if for a few minutes. I just felt sooo confined. Like I was going to bust open. It felt so good. Just about 3 minutes!! I so needed it! Anyway, I am grateful for regular BMs, minimal discomfort, and what I believe to be good progress with my drainage. I am fortunate to have the help & support of my husband & my Mom. Even my 5 & 7 yr olds have been exceptionally good this passed week. Today I cut down my pain meds to 1 when I wake up, 1 in the afternoon and 1 before bed (orig dose was 2 every 6 hrs). I am looking forward to my 2nd PO appt on Monday. I'm hoping to get my drains removed. I am hoping to avoid seromas.
Provider Review
After consulting with 5 different ps, I decided on this ps because he seemed to really see me as an individual and not "just another TT". He was the only one who suggested something other than the traditional TT. Also, the person who referred him to me is in the health profession. She had a TT with him also. I figure she is "in the know" about what ps is the best for this procedure. She was very happy with her results and the care she got from him and his staff.
