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.

33 Days Post-op
My apologies everyone!!! I have been so busy since I've been back at work and the fall sememster started in school.
I've been meaning to update everyone on my journey but life has gotten in the way. I promised myself today that I would update everyone and add the pics I took at day 16 post op.
All has been well and I am continuing to heal everyday. Most of the muscle soreness is fading and it no longer hurts like heck to sneeze. I still feel some soreness in the muscle from time to time when I am moving about too much, but otherwise all is well and I am very happy with my results.
I will be taking more pictures this weekend and will upload those as well.
I promise not to take so long between my posts anymore.
I hope that all my fellow tummy tuckers are all doing well!

7 DAYS POST OP
Hi Everyone.
I have been recovering for a week now and I feel terrific.
My pain since the surgery has been very minimal. As a matter of fact, I haven't needed to take a pain pill since this past Sunday.
Yesterday I had my follow up with my doctor and he said that I was healing well and walking well. He removed the right drain but the left one remains. He didn't want to take both out since there was still a little drainage still. Hopefully I can get the left one removed on Friday.
I have been very happy and surprised with my recovery. I've only experienced some soreness when moving about and some soreness in my back from walking slightly bent over. My doctor advised that I can walk straight if I feel I can, and I do.
There is still a lot of swelling so it's difficult to see optimal results.
I am going to try and post some new pictures later today.
Happy healing to everyone!

Hi Everyone.
I have made it to the flat side!!
My surgery took place at 7:30AM this morning and I first woke up in recovery around 10:15AM. My doctor said everything went well and I will be very happy with my results.
I am very happy to report that so far I have had no nausea and no major pain. When I first woke up, I felt some burning along the incision but that quickly went away once they gave me my pain meds. I also enjoyed a lovely brunch of saltine crackers and ginger ale.
At one point I felt really, really hot. My mother had to fan me and the nurses said it could be a sign of nausea coming so they gave me nausea meds to stop it before it happened. This medication knocked me out.
Since I've been home I have been resting comfortably and have been sleeping most of the day. It's crazy...one minute I am wide awake and the next second I'm knocked out sleep. In all honesty I feel really good and I have had no problems walking to the bathroom. I think I probably don't have a lot of pain because at the start of my surgery, my doctor said he injected meds to numb the area. He said the numbers medication would last 12-18 hours. That along with the pain meds has kept the pain away. I'm praying that any pain continues to be minimal in the coming days.
I feel sleep coming on again so I am going to end this now. I have attached a picture but you really can't see much because I have on a black compression garment. All you really see are my drains. Sorry that the pic is a little fuzzy. Did it with my whack BlackBerry which takes horrible pictures. Will do some better ones tomorrow with my iPad.
Happy Healing to all the ladies on the flat side and prayers and blessings to those scheduled for tomorrow and in the future.
