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.

Nervous
Well, the time has come. I haven't posted in a while. I will post tomorrow updated pictures. Just so I keep everyone in the know the original surgery never occurred. Couldn't stay off smoking long enough.
Since I last posted the weight has stayed roughly the same. I enlisted in the US Air Force attended training, though, struggled with the sit up portion of the PT exams.
I have stopped smoking and have been penciled in on the surgery. Thursday 24 March 2016! Ah. I can't believe it.
I will completely update my profile and postings tomorrow including photos of problem region.

Random thoughts
A one week update:
Well, the operation date is nearing, this is still just my second post so bare with me as I figure everything out.
Not much has happened this past week. Although I do feel much more confident. At first I was very hesitant about going for a TT.
I consider myself a very strong willed and motivated individual and always like to do things the "hard-way," which to me simply means doing it all on my own---like--loosing 100 plus pounds without Gastric Bypass, quitting smoking cold turkey without medicine, things like that, so it took me a long long time to come to terms with the fact that I would have to finally opt for surgery.
For the longest time opting for surgery to me seemed like--I'm not sure how to phrase it--I guess, well, cowardly?
However, I realized that no matter how hard I pushed myself some things I just could not change: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; the courage to change the things I can; and the wisdom to know the difference."
Well, every since starting my diet nearly three years ago, I've tried to build the courage I need to tackle the obstacles and demons from within--I started eating healthy, jogging, taking my vitamins, being a more social and respectable guy to others and myself, and just live to my true nature if you know what I mean...
Ohh I forgot, the TT compression garment arrived in the mail the other day!!!! I tried it on and realized its super small...is that a good thing? I was thinking it probably is because once the skins gone I'll be able to squeeze right in but then I started to think maybe I wont be able to fit in it right after surgery because I'll be swollen.
I guess I'm not to nervous just yet, I probably will be when time gets closer. Right now just getting a little anxious/excited. Still off smoking!! Well over a month now.
Lets see....was also thinking of maybe getting a tattoo in time to cover the to be scar?
