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.

My measurements are
Feb. 2. 2018
Waist 27.5”
Hips 38”
Inner thighs 22”
So, I’m still going down but it’s very slow. My nights are sleepless. There’s a lot of pain around the kidney areas. I wake up feeling my kidneys are going to explode. It feels like you’ve not gone to the bathroom to pee and it’s hurting, except that I don’t want to go to the bathroom. My inner thighs are a disappointment so far, as they are till rubbing together as I walk. I insisted that Dr Charbel remove them to form a gap so I can wear shorts and skirts. So, one more week to go o see if they will go down a bit more. I took a shower and removed plasters. Areas still numb are around my waist, painful areas bruised around my thighs and waist. Check the photos

I’m starting to exercise again. Nothing too vigorous, walking and weight training arms/chest/a little ab too. Sleeping and moving around is much easier now. I still feel discomfort when i lie down. I need to put pillows and cushions beneath my lower back still. Can’t bend that easily yet. Areas around buttocks and waist , hips and inner thigh, knee still feeling numb. It’s getting a bit itchy sometimes.
