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.

I decided in February after taking a weekend...

I decided in February after taking a weekend getaway with my family to a resort that had an indoor pool that it was really time for me to do something about my tummy. I'm tired of walking around sucking in my gut...it's just exhausting. Plus I was more worried about the dimples on my saddle bags. I have no idea how to suck them in!! I just covered them up with a pair of bathing shorts. Not happy at all.

I'm 39, 5'5" and weigh anywhere between 140-150. Right now I’m at my highest because I'm enjoying my last couple of weeks and eating/drinking whatever I like. I use to be very disciplined. I was a U.S. Marine in my younger years and stayed rather active up until about 4 years ago when I gave birth to my last child. I don't know if it’s my age or premenopausal or BOTH! but, I can't lose the wait like I use too and I certainly don't look or feel the way I use too.

I'm very excited to share my journey with everyone!! I will post some before pictures soon before the big day.

Well here are my before pics. These were taking on May 1st. I'm going to post more before the the big day.

I'm so excited but the anxiety of the "what ifs" are killing me. I'm really scared of the surgery itself. I'm fine with the post part...the pain and the healing...because it will all pass. just can't get the being put to sleep part out of my mind. Very scared!!!

Yes, I have been eating everything. There is no holds bar right now when it comes to my food intake. Thankfully, I have a great husband that does not allow alot of junk food in the house. Usually everything is organic in my house or pretty close to it. No artificial stuff, No fructose corn syrup, DEF NO SODA's in my house (although I had one at lunch yesterday - husband does not know I went to Taco Bell), All of the juices the kids drink have to be 100% fruit juice. Are kids are very healthy and seldom get sick. So I KNOW that this will be it for me (eating bad), when I get home my husband will make sure of it :)

So everyone that I have told (which is basically everyone I talk too - because I'm just too excited to keep it in) is very excited for me. I have found out that 85% of my friends have been contemplating the same procedure. So I have had a lot of support from my friends. Family on the other hand - not so supportive and I do not mean that in a bad way. My dad really wants me to think about it. When I told him that its paid for and scheduled, you could tell that he was upset. My dad is very natural person too. He is 65 and still works out. He also eats very healthy. My mom really hasn't said to much except why, your skinny now. So, I'm not sure her take. My sister who will be 30 this year didn't show any excitement for me, so not sure about her either. My brother who lives out in Vegas who fought in the UFC and WAS married to a women who had alot done to her said "Great you two can join each other" in a very sarcastic way. So not sure how to read him either. My lil sis who is 27 seems to be happy she said she wishes she could get boobs. She also said if I need anyone to come over and help out she would so that was nice.

All in all I'm excited and can't wait to show off the new me when its all done. ttys.

I'm reading a lot of reviews and I feel a little left out. Example vitamin c....My ps didn't say anything to me about taking vitamin c. I'm taking it is for infection? And nothing about stool softener either. Maybe it will be discussed when they call me to tell me what time to be there on the sixth.

Learning so much from reading everyone's reviews....Really happy I found realself!
