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.

Hi all, I am a 38 year old mom of 2 girls, 9 and 15. I have a wonderful husband who supports my everything! I am also a pretty successful (knock on wood) Childcare owner/provider here in Colorado.
I cannot remember a time when I didn't have a gut or muffin top. I have years of destructive yo-yo dieting in my past and because of it ruined my body. My second pregnancy with my daughter gave me gestational diabetes and subsequently I am Diabetic. She did not give me diabetes it was just a precursor for what was in store for me I think. I also appears to be a hereditary thing as I have a few family members with it as well. Back to me - Ok so I am always afraid of becoming that person that has a belly the just hangs to their knees and are basically being destroyed from the inside out. I am fairly active but I wont lie I like to eat too. I wont ever be a size 5, I don't think I have ever been. I just want to be comfortable and have all my parts in the right areas, lol! I have found Dr Gonyon in Loveland and he didn't criticize me he just told me what he could do- and its a lot. I will have an extended tummy tuck with muscle tightening and lipo and lipo to my flanks. I also have this weird growth thing (all fatty tissue) right under my bra line on the right side that he affectionately called a football that will be sucked out. Cant wait for the loss of my football lol. Its really not that big but its a handful or so. I will just be happy to feel that gone! I just cant believe I am going through with this. I seriously have a fear of surgery but at the same time I know my quality of life would just be better with all of this done and behind me. I have approximately 8 1/2 weeks before the big day. I have set a goal of losing some weight before surgery too to give me something to focus on in the mean time. My diabetes is completely under control with meds so that is not a concern and I had some tests done with an EKG before they would give me a definite yes. My family Practitioner also had to sign off as well. Its all a go people. I feel like everyone on here has a story, and like everyone else I am searching for one like mine. I want to predict the future, I want to predict the outcome, I want it to be 6 months behind me and to not have a regret. I am excited to see parts I haven't seen in a while and to be able to run without feeling the pull of the weight of skin and tissue in my belly. I am so excited for the beginning this will create for me.
