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.

Week 7 PO. This has been a crazy journey. I have not updated my profile since the end of week 3. Weeks 4-6 were filled with much swelling and tiredness. I was not comfortable, clothes did not fit well, and did not feel like leaving the house for more than an hour or two. Mom thought I was depressed, but I really was just physically tired and tired of not feeling like myself. I was also a little disappointed because I felt others could not see a difference in my appearance. I believe that we do not see ourselves as others see ourselves. At my 6 weeks visit, I was cleared for all activity but to start slowly. I do not have to wear my cg garment and have started wearing a silcone gel strip on my scar. I asked my dr. if I would get flatter and he seemed stunned. He said I had a little swelling that would go down. He asked if I remembered what I looked like prior and then showed me the before pictures. Since that moment I have decided to embrace my changes. I have not lost weight but my clothes fit so much better. I have always hid my mid section with flowy tops and sweaters. Now I am wearing fitted clothes and really feel good about myself. I am even excited to exercises. I have lots of remaining stretch marks on my front and sides. I am a little bumpy on my sides from my lipo. The right top side of my belly button beneath the skin has been a little sore, especially if a bend a certain way; however, today it seems to be getting better. I know that I will still have some bad days, but it is all worth it. Reading everyones posts lets me know that I am not alone on this strange journey. Happy healing.

PO Day 21. Doing really well. Very glad that I do not have to go back to work until September. I have been dealing with the swelling OK. Swelling is around the incision line. Cannot wait to fit into my clothes.

PO day 12 had second drain removed. Was feeling great and getting around well. Day 13 I think I over did it. Was swollen, tight, and bent over by the end of night. No pain just uncomfortable. PO day 14 will be a pajama day. Dont feel like doing anything or going anywhere. I have read all the comments about being patient because everyday is different. I thought maybe I beat the odds and each day would be better. I have to regroup myself and realize each day will be different. Thanks to everyone's reviews. It really helps with recovery because you know what to expect.
