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 Four Update... Tummy almost totally flat...
Week Four Update...
Tummy almost totally flat. Stretch marks are really fading. Guess they couldn't do that before since they never got a break. Now to really begin actually working out. Have these hard knots on the bottom of my tummy that I am supposed to begin massaging this week, but we'll take that slow since its uncomfortable to even lightly massage them. Stitches fell out. No longer painful to twist, sit, bend or stand. Slept on my tummy last night too.
LOVE these results.
Still wear the corsets because my skin just feels more secure when i'm wearing one.
Measurements fluctuates between 32 and 33. Hip is pretty constant at 41. Can't wait to see all the shrinkage once I begin my 2 hours of exercise 5 days a week! Whooohooo!

Three Week Update... Hi! 1. The bruising...
Three Week Update...
Hi!
1. The bruising was actually gone at the end of week 2.
2. Still swelling. Waist measurement is 33 some days and 32 on others. Hip is 41. That's down 9 inches from my pre-op measurements of 39 inch waist and 44 inch hips. Friggin awesome.
3. What is working best for me to reduce swelling are Arnica pills, ginger capsules, vitamin A, fish oil capsules (in addition to the vitamin a), and ibuprofen. All of which are known to reduce inflammation. When took my girdle off too soon and developed all that swelling and edema, I started the aforementioned vitamin combo and the edema was gone in two days. The extra swelling was gone in three.
The bruises are gone, so i'm done taking the arnica.
