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.

New pics

Here are some updated pics that include the scar and my belly button. The white thing that is in my belly button is there to keep it from closing up the way it did last time. I've also included pics of what my belly button currently looks like.

Same thing, different day

Nothing new to report. My belly button is healing up the way is was supposed to, my scar is getting lighter and lighter and I'm feeling good.

Belly Button Issues

Hey ladies. Since the last time I posted, I've gone back to work full duty (i'm a paramedic in NYC). The only issue I've had is my belly button. I tried the suggestion my doctor made of using an ear plug to keep the belly button open but it closed up to the size of a pin hole. That would have been fine but it closed up from the outside and not the inside out. So he was able to reopen it with. Since I had no feeling there in the first place, he didn't have to give me a local to re-open it. I still have no regrets about the surgery and the belly button has been the only hiccup. Other than that, I gotta get back to the gym and really work out. I normally go at 6pm and have a ton of energy but with my work hours being 0700 to 1500 (7am to 3pm) and a 45 minute drive in each direction, I'm exhausted. I'll post the pics of what my belly button looked like before and after he reopened it later on this evening. I hope all is well with every one else.

He will never force you into a surgery you are not comfortable with or that you cannot afford. If he thinks you'll have a better result if you loose more weight, he will tell you so and won't allow you to schedule a surgery until you've done so. He does a through physical exam and will answer any questions you have.
