- 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.

Best decision ever!
Best decision ever!
So for anyone contemplating surgery in Thailand, I say do it. Just make sure you do your research. I believe the surgeon and facilities I chose - are far superior to what I would have received in my country of residence. There is a reason why they are ranked Top 10 in the world. 5 * Service all the way. I have been recovering quite well, it's only been 60 hours after the operation, I'm already walking, not upright, but walking slowly. The pain is managable - I'm wearing a cg and I think this gives me a sense of security. I'm staying at Samativej Sukhumvit Hospital - the room and service is that of a 5* Hotel.
So I've always had a flat tummy until I fell...
So I've always had a flat tummy until I fell pregnant and gained roughly 30kg's each time. Even though everyone said it was only my tummy that was big!!! I've lost all the baby weight 6 months after my last child - and now weigh a healthy 65kg's. I love exercising and try to make it to the gym at least 3 - 4 times every week. I've been told by a few personal trainers, no amount of exercise will get rid of my tummy issues.
After initially thinking I have a umbilical(mid line) hernia, an ultrasound of the abdominal wall confirmed this was no hernia, but the findings were that I have a severe divarication of the recti muscles with bulging of the abdominal contents in the erect position(this explains why I always look a couple of months pregnant!!!). There was no true defect to suggest a hernia but the linea alba is very lax and bulges under pressure.
I decided I don't want to live with this tummy for the next 10 years before doing something, I want rid of it now. Most people probably contemplate about a decision like this for years, but I think it is very easy to over think things, and went for it. My surgery is less than a week away and instead of feeling scared, I'm excited beyond believe - I will wear a bikini and normal clothing soon again!
My surgery will be at a 5 Star Hospital Samativej Sukhumvit in Bangkok Thailand, which rates in the Top 10 countries for reconstructive/plastic surgery. I've booked my surgery through an agency, but I would suggest to book through the hospital directly, I found the agency to be a bit all over the place. My surgery will be with Dr. Pichit Siriwan - Board Certified Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon.
I will update everyone on my progress, thumbs up:-)
