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.

Today is the day
I cannot believe in 7 hours from now I will be having my procedures! I have been wanting this for so long and here I am! Hard to believe its today. So excited. Nervous .
I have all my ducks in a row I believe and am ready to start and heal. My room is set up, my kids have a plan, my husband is going to care for me…and I'm off work for 2 weeks. I have to say, I'm doing pretty well keeping myself calm and mellow. I am hoping I can keep this same level of low key anxiety once I get to the hospital. I didn't realize I would need to get there 2 hours early. That feels like a lot of time to get my nerves going.
I also, naively, didn't realize that my procedures would take 4+ hours for a TT, BL, and maybe some lipo. I think I had convinced myself that it would only be 2-3. (Duh, not sure why). That knowledge made me more nervous than anything.
So…I hope to post pics ASAP as other women's pics have been so helpful and inspiring to me!

Mothers Day and surgery
I am so excited that my surgery is only 3 days away. This will be my last Mother's Day with my body looking like this and it feels like a milestone! I'm going to spend part of the day today getting my recovery space set up. Unfortunately we are having renovation done in my home in my bedroom…which should be done by Thurs. (hopefully) so my room is an absolute mess with boxes/clothes/piles everywhere. I am going to take time to create checklists for myself for the next few days.
These checklists are for me so I don't forget anything that needs to be prepared. I will post them here when I have them done….maybe they will be helpful to someone else.

Pictures of frankenbelly (before) --hard for me to see!
Wow it's humbling to put these images online. It's really hard for me to see these images and know that is how I really look. I have spent so many years avoiding looking at myself and hiding behind clothes. Just even going to the consult and letting strangers see my body was indeed, one of the hardest things I've ever done.
And now…only 6 more days like this!
I.cannot.wait!!
My frankenbelly will be gone!
This was a big week for me. I accomplished:
*buying my supplies from the list I've compiled from posts here
*ordered and received my binder
*told at least 6 people of my "hernia" and abdominal repair--people who will help care for my children and random strangers!
*started mentally preparing for pain and how I will talk myself through it.
I am so ready. I am focused and determined that this will be part of my transformation back to who I really am!
