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 had my tummy tuck December 18, 2012
I had a followup on the 20 th and 24 th. I asked whether I could drive 90 minutes one way to meet my son for dinner - he said of course
Note: lesson learned. Seatbelts are not friendly to tummy tuck surgery. Take plenty of variety pillows to pad yourself! The passenger seatbelt got me and that portion of my incision took 5 weeks to heal
I wore the elastic bandage/girdle consistently. I even added another one so my entire torso was covered for maximum results
Note: I discovered wearing a cotton type of "Ace" bandage around the incision and then putting on the Velcro girdle made it more comfortable. A lot mor comfortable.
I went down 1 size in jeans and now wear some medium tops!!!! I lost 12 pounds from the surgery including the weeks following surgery.
I didn't notice discomfort from the liposuction. He used the laser son that may have helped.
I didn't need a special chair
I used numerous pillows to prop me upright and to cushion my hips. Pain pills were my friend. I slept a lot. I didn't drive for over 3 weeks. ( I am 56 and retired)
I love to look at my shadows in the sunlight. I love trying on clothes. I'm thrilled to have the hanging skin from my gastric bypass gone!

I'm tired a lot. Sleep a lot. My hubby is a gem! I'm still on pain meds because I can't take anti inflam meds due to gastric bypass surgery
The gauze and tape caused issues. I found non- stick pads ( Curad) which seem to work
I itch and burn on my hips. Is that part of healing? What can I do to be more comfortable?

I wear the compressed garment and the nurse suggested I do spanks too. I have Target's version of Spanks called "Assets". I've been wearing 2 Assets along with the compressed garment. I just took everything off and am wearing a night shirt. I still itch a little but not nearly as bad.
Provider Review
Undecided on rating until I'm further along in recovery. So far so good. Dr. Heath Stacy is very up to date with procedures. Because he has only been in practice a few years, he will remove any extra scarring. He indicated there is no way to determine whether a patient will get "dog ears". He repairs them at no cost to patient.
