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 Weeks Post
Everyday up until now, it's been pretty painful. In the mornings, I feel the pressure of the swelling. I immediate use the restroom and feel relieved. Now, it's no longer that feeling. It simply feels like I did a really intense ab workout. I am still awaiting my final results- the swelling makes my stomach appear a bit lumpy. I'll post another one month update in 2 weeks, after I see the doctor again.

Day 4 (After Checkup)
So I went to the office, the doctor changed the bandages and informed me that I'd only have to wear them for 2 more days. The scarring isn't so bad with two of the incisions, but the incision in which the laser was inserted are pink. They look better than they did 4 days ago, but I hate that they are in such a prominent place on my tummy (the doc used old scars from my previous surgery).
He told me that the swelling would be good after 2 weeks, better after 6 weeks, and best after 12 weeks. Before I left they also put me in a seamless compression garment, which I am supposed to wear non stop for 2 weeks and on and off for another 4 weeks after that. Next checkup is in 1 week, Saturday at 10 am.

Day 4
It hurts less, the swelling is going down more, though not entirely. I can use my elbows to sit up and I am generally becoming more mobile. I think the hardest part from here on out will be maintaining patience for the swelling to go down so that I can see my final result. In just one hour I have an appointment with the doctor. He is going to take off my bandages and put me in the compression garment. I hope it doesn't hurt too bad. Will update after my visit. I am also posting before and after pics today, although I think my final results should look a whole lot better than they do now.
