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.

its been like forever!
i haven't updated in a while. just back from another vacation so posting a pic. not much to report really. still going to zumba, incision spots still a bit tender on the ends but all in all still super happy and loving my bod!! using bio oil once or twice a day. ran out of silicone strips but will get more in as i like the way they make my 'ends' feel smooth.
11 weeks today
still very pleased with my results. ive accepted my teeny belly button. still a bit pouchy with the butt crack look but no where near as bad. lol. my scar is healing well with the interchangeable use of bio oil and vitamin e oil. still tender though at each end of the incision.
ive been going to zumba maybe three times a week hoping to get back up to five. jumping jacks and kneee to elbow jumps are harsh on the ends of my incision, almost painful so i modify those movements.
still no compression garment since week 9. i did pull it out and wear it for two days on the weekend but noticed my tummy is happier without it at this point as when i removed it my stomach seemed numb all over as opposed to just the lower half it was before. also i felt stiffer. i know thats prob spose to be a good thing with the tummy contacting more but it was uncomfortable. so here i remain cg free but more comfortable.
ive beed awful with taking pics but think i'll do a 12 week pic update.

hello ladies. back last nite from my holiday in barbados. it was fantastic!! told my 'vsf' about the tt and he goes...'t t t tummy tuck? tummy tuck" but there was nothing wrong with you before!!'. i go thank you but yah, i needed this, i needed to do this. he then said if anyone needs a tummy tuck its me!! lol and there was not another word said about it. he loved my body and i do mean LOVED!! lol
wore my flexees boy shorts on the flight down but had to remove it mid air as the dam thing was cutting into me. bought my cg with me but it never left the suitcase. i had ZERO swelling and didnt miss the cg at all. so here i am on week nine feeling fabulous and sexy as hell!
stopped using the scar sheets last week just using bio oil and vitamin e oil twice a day. adding one pic on me on vc will take scar pics later on.
