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.

Day 11: I am down a pants size! Hardly any pain at all. Bruising is nearly gone -- the only bruised area that remains is my calves (thank you gravity). I got another massage last night. The next one is scheduled for Saturday. I am also continuing to walk 2.4m a day and do arm exercises. I'm waiting until Day 21 to take/post pics. Stay tuned!

Day 9: Least swollen I have been so far. I could...

Day 9: Least swollen I have been so far. I could definitely see a difference...and I was down 3 lbs since surgery. But then I ate chinese food for dinner..so today I am back to feeling a little swollen. I am going to post pics once I hit the 3 week mark. One major recommendation: Get a compression garmentr that has straps and is mid thigh-chest b/c the garments kill when they dig into waist.

Also, joined Massage Envy and had massage on Fri, Sat and today. It really REALLY helped with swelling.

Day 6: REALLY swollen today and also very bruised....

Day 6: REALLY swollen today and also very bruised. I took arnica for a week before surgery and been taking it after. No difference. Had my one week follow-up today and it was clear that I bruise more than most people. Also, my compression garment was not tight enough. I think that was bad with swelling. I measured myself today and I am the same measurements and same weight.
Tomorrow I start professional massages. I plan to get 3/week to help with swelling. That is the key! So I hear...and pray.

Otherwise, I feel just fine. Been walking 2 miles a day and that has been great. And I have been eating well. Using the procedure as motivating. I know I won't see results for at least a couple of months so i'm just biding my time for now.

Answered all of my questions which were many. I emailed follow up questions quite a lot between visits. Dr Heck is extremely polite and made me feel so comfortable. I am so thrilled with my choice. The final verdict is out on results because it is so early but I'm so so confident and will do more with this physician in the future.
