Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
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.

I am 22, 5'5" and currently weigh 164 lbs after losing 130 lbs (my starting weight was 290+ lbs). My surgery is booked for June 05 2015. It will remove the excess skin apron/pannus that hangs on my stomach. The Medical Services Plan (MSP) is covering this procedure, as it is considered a 'medically necessary' cosmetic surgery.
Tomorrow is the day!
Well it's actually happening. I have to be at the hospital at 9:50 tomorrow. I can't believe we are finally here! Will post photos a few days post-op :)
6 Hours Post-Op
So surgery happened around 12, it went so well! I didn't even realize I'd gone to sleep until I woke up at 2:30PM. I was in my car being driven home by 4:30PM and the time moved so quickly. I hardly felt like I was waiting, unlike my time pre-surgery that just seemed to drag on.
So I feel okay. I have mild pain with sharper pain in the right hip. The surgeon went hip to hip with my scar as she said this would stop 'bunching' there. From the markings, it looked like she took off a lot!
I feel flatter but I can't see anything. The compression garment is huge!
I get extremely exhausted from simple things like using the bathroom or changing. I can't walk standing upright, but she said that's normal. When I over exert myself I get super nauseous, like I'm going to throw up, paired with a high temperature and the feeling of passing out. Some cold towels, laying down, and gingerale have been helpful so far :)
I can't believe it's done! Now just to recover. I have two drainage bags while should be removed in a weekish!
