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.

It's almost time. I'm terrified! I'm praying for safe surgery, great results and fast healing and no complications. I'm not having MR as my surgeon says I don't need it. I gained #85 with my daughter 3 years ago and I have lost it all including my butt. I'm so nervous and anxious. Will be updating as I go.
Day 1-11 update
The day of surgery my pain was horrific but that didn't last long. My husband called Dr. Hamel's office and a doctor and a nurse was sent to my hotel room with Demerol and stronger pain meds. My pain was under control after that. I took my pain meds every 4 hours around the clock day 1.
Day 2 continued to take pain meds around the clock. I was pretty miserable for the 1st three days. Mostly discomfort.
The BBL hurt a lot longer than the TT and so did the lipo. I felt like I weighed 500 pounds. It was hard to get around.
Day 6 mimal pain and my drain was removed that didn't hurt.
Day 8 I was off all pain meds.
Today I have an area on my incision that I was concerned about and Dr. Hamel asked to come in. It was a stitch that had not dissolved. He cleaned it out and placed me on an antibiotics. I just pray that's all it is. I'm very pale and have been running g a low grade temp. I finished a 10 day course of antibiotics last night. Swelling is going down.pretty fast now. I'm drinking a lot of water and taking iron. I had an allergic reaction to something so he ordered 7 days of prenisone. I'm still slightly hunched over more in the mornings than at night.
