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.

2 week update
So this update is primarily for myself b/c I don't have any real activity on my page so what I'm going to do is just list out everything that's happened and how I felt since my last update instead of an elaborate story.
Since day 5..today is day 13. I've had 2 lymphatic massages at massage envy. Only arms and back no abdomen. Changed my garment to what I think is a stage 2 garment because the 2xl butt out garment was causing me discomfort and pain. This was done at day 9. It's a size L and was SO much more comfortable and no butt out. My back and butt have been itchy a lot. I've been having REGULAR bowel movements since day 3/4 when I had my first one (no constipation, no stool softener needed). I've been eating some what healthy and drinking water but prob not enough. Today moving on I'm going to try and eat better since I can't really exercise like I want (the only in Healy food Ivr had since surgery is candy-prob too much, cookies like 5/6 total, ice cream 3-4 small scoops, and some peach cobbler-small bowl) everything else is either brown rice veggies, fruits, or some type of seafood since I'm pescetarian. I've been swimming and it actually felt good. And I've started driving (with the use of my booty buddy which helps tremendously). I have not sat down on my butt yet but I have been lying in my sides some when it doesn't hurt.
That's all I can think of really get now but if anyone has any questions, such as what brand is my stage 2, or what's my current weight or measurements (which I will post later), leave a comment for me.
* most of the pics are with me sucking in :-( and the one I'm not I left a caption stating I'm not
I'm not sure how I feel about the results or if me switching my garment out at 9 days decreased my booty size. I just feel it's not as big as I anticipated seeing how big it was after surgery. Also my butt is still sort of hard but has very little movement. Which my surgeon said the longer it takes to soften the better the results of the fat survival.

Day 5
I'm feeling ok this morning. I'm home and trying to get bck in the swing of things.. I actually cooked last night with help of my husband. And this morning cooked my own breakfast. I may go for a lymphatic massage today but if not DEFINITELY tomorrow.
Here's my breakfast! Whole egg fried in olive oil topped with a mix of bean sprouts white & green onions chopped base and chopped cilantro. A avocado & tomato spread on wheat bread with Swiss cheese!
