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.

Signed off!
Last week I was signed off by my PS (who was VERY happy with my results!) and I finally was able to have a bath - it felt SO good!!
Life is normal again, back spinning & have started Pilates to strengthen my core muscles.
Now I feel I can look back & be more objective about the whole procedure so I will give you my honest opinion.
Pros:
*nicer flat tummy (obviously!!)
*stronger core stability
*less back pain
*actually don't mind if my toddler lifts my top slightly in public!
*i feel better about myself when I'm intimate with my husband ;)
Cons:
*discomfort for months (not pain, unless you are unlucky enough to catch gastroenteritis like me, see my review)
*now when I get my period, the pain in my tummy seems to be worse, I don't know if anyone else found this??
* turned not only my life upside post op but my husbands also. Please don't consider this operation unless you have constant family/friend support!
So that's it. I will keep updating but I will say I'm very glad I had this done. My saggy stomach, detached muscles & hernia would have only gotten worse with age.
I'm going to post a few pictures but please excuse the bloated tum - I've just eaten a huge plate of lasagne. It's the weekend!

Picture of the whole deal
Just a quickie to show the whole scar. It still looks quite aggressive but I know in a few years it will be faint & not detectable :)
Pilates!
I've been back doing spinning & Pilates for a couple of weeks now...and it's going great! There were a few strange tugging sensations to begin with but now feeling stronger & stronger. Very happy! I have my follow up with my PS in a couple of weeks which I'm looking forward too.
