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.

I'm doing good but still self conscious of swelling. I really massage my belly above my bb and down to my scar line pushing at hard spot centre of scar. I keep thinking I'm fat and scale not budging. Fat seems to be going to flanks. I am working out going insanity and started doing p90x instead of chalean extreme. I restarted minor core exercises instead of crunches (I developed a hard lump above bb after doing regular ab workouts). My swelling goes to just above bb. My skin on upper abs is either fat or swollen and sore when I bend to put shoes or socks in. Results look good but I'm still uncomfy at times. Can't wait to be normal. I probably have 7 or so more months of healing. I'm gonna continue working out because I think it's good for me and I have started eating less to see if anything changes. I have never had a weight problem before but I weigh 10lbs more than before surgery and at 6 weeks po I weighed 124lbs and now I'm a whopping 135lbs. Whew what a roller coaster recovery is.

I'm feeling good. Still healing. My scale won't budge and I weigh more than I ever have except for pregnancy. I am still swollen but it gets better a teeny bit at time and I can't wait until my skin smooths out.

Things are getting better but I can't stand up and back and tummy are so tight that my skin almost hurts. I am busy about doing laundry, dishes and cooking and taking breaks also. I'm afraid to go out in public looking like hunchback but today I will drive my car for first time to pick up daughter after school. I lost weight apparently which is ironic because I'm 4 inches bigger around belly than when I went in. I had about a 4" muscle repair and they only took 500mg (1/2 lb fat) and my loose skin. I am assuming I have lost muscle over this 2 weeks.
