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.

Torso lump removal.
Two weeks ago I went in to have more lumps removed from my waist. These lumps stop me bending properly or should I say get in the way. I have so many here the surgeon and I decided that a larger scar would be more convenient than lots of smaller scars. The doctor decided to do both sides of my waist. I now have incisions from under my ribs on my back to just under my belly button. I lost nearly 2kgs of lumps. Obviously this was a lot bigger operation than the last two and I was kept in overnight.
It must just be me as I haven't had any real pain just a bit of discomfort, and very tired. I was actually back in work two days later for some meetings.
For the first time in years I now have a waist, my clothes are now more comfortable and once the strange feeling about the incisions subsides.. Well happy days.
I am taking a break from the removal process for a few months to let my bodies resources recover.
I should also say that all of the stitches are internal so I have been left with two lines rather than the stereotypical scar.

Photos didn't upload last time
See photos, Right arm 10 weeks, left arm 2 weeks. I would take better pictures but holding on to a camera and get far enough away by myself is difficult!

The surgeon that has embarked on this mission is fantastic, he has even given me his cell number in case of any issues! Oh and the hospital is brand new, although English is a second language the greeting is fantastic and beside manner unhurried and kind.
