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.

Think I am putting on weight!!
I am back at the gym pretty regularly. Sit ups are still tough but I get some done.
I feel like if I gain a pound I feel it. Not necessarily in the belly, but it looks like my butt and thighs will be the new place! Happy I did it. It was not life changing for me as far as how I wear clothes. I am not any more shapely that I was before because of being a short torso and high hip placement. I knew it wasn't life changing because I didn't have that much skin to remove. I like my new belly button way more than my old. Some new photos from today.

Worked out......
Definitely felt the ab work. It actually set me back a few days. Go gently into planks, push-ups and core work. Don't rush it. I had a hard time and have been running. And spinning with no problems. I also lifted weights and that could have made the pain worse, but my abs killed!! My advice, is go slow and be gentle.
Feeling better
Feeling really good. Have been exercising. Actually did a 3.5 mile run yesterday. Felt really good. Even though I swell for the rest of the day. Still complaining about my lack of actual shape, absolutely no curves. I have no indents but not sure how I could achieve that. It's kind of been this way my whole life. I would highly recommend a lymphatic massage. It was great. Felt really good after. When to my PS and he said I need to massage my belly button and I started the scar treatment- the silicone strips. I guess life is returning to normal. To anyone with doubts, surgery is absolutely worth it. I was definitely nervous after reading other peoples scary stories of pain and inability to do, and that was not the case with me. Pain was really minimal and I had drains and I did not have exparal or a pain pump.
