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.

Panties!
Oh my gosh I forgot to talk about panties! You can see, in my "before" pictures, the kind of panties that I used to wear. I would get the lycra/spandex full coverage variety that would fit over my bottom belly and hopefully offer a little support/compression.
Since my surgery, I've purchased 10 new pairs of bikini or hipster panties! It's indescribably awesome to see pretty, lacy panties lying straight across my flat tummy! Panties alone are a justification for this surgery if you're looking for one.

7.5 weeks
Things are going well. I have a scabby area on my vertical tummy incision that feels like it's taking forever to heal. I keep asking the scabs to just fall off already, but they refuse to budge. My thighs are happy. That fluid collection under the right incision is still there and I wish it would just be gone already, but it doesn't hurt...I'm just annoyed that it's there.
I am returning to work on Monday and feeling a bit nervous about how my body will react to being up and about all day long. Luckily, I have a whole week of workdays before I actually have to teach.
I worked out for the first time yesterday! I did some arm/shoulder/back exercises with my hand weights! It felt good to get moving a bit :)

Week 6.5
I feel great! I love putting clothes on! I love taking them off! I love checking myself out on every available shiny surface that I see! I don't know what else to write!
Provider Review
Dr. Todd Stoeckel
Dr. Stoeckel is very calm and this is perfect for a worry-wart like me. His office is lovely and his staff is great! I have had two surgeries with him (an arm lift and a fleur-de-lis tummy tuck/medial thigh lift) and my photos speak for themselves! There have been several occasions in which I had to contact Dr. Stoeckel on the weekend and I was able to do this quickly via text message. He is literally a phone call away during recovery. I highly recommend that you consult with him.
