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.

PO Day 5
I am still feeling good. I took my binder off again yesterday to wash up and change my tank top under it. I got more brave and took a closer look at what's under the bandages and so far what I have been brave enough to look at looks good...i know it's flat! I keep running a low grade fever off and on though. That is more annoying to me than the incision site or the tubes. I basically feel as though I have done a thousand sit ups. I am stiff and tired of sitting around so much. That is really hard for me. I tried not to take any pain meds today. I did end up taking some this evening to help me relax so I can get comfortable to sleep. I had that stuff! I have been having bms all day today yahooo! My post op is Wednesday so i'm a bit nervous about that because i'm good at babying myself so as not to cause pain but man i sure hope these drains go bye bye!! I will try to get post op pics up soon. oh by the way, my doc said he took SEVEN POUNDS of skin! That is not counting the lipo!! WOW! Happy Healing everyone!

PO Day 3
I am feeling great! I can't believe how good I am feeling. We took the binder off today so that I could put a tank top on under it. I was really scared to do that! I will take more pictures soon. The key for me I think has been to get up and move as much as I could, but not TO much, and to drink lots of water. I am walking pretty straight now, not fully but almost. The drain sites arent even bothering me that much. I feel kind of silly for psyching myself out so much before the surgery. I do still have the issue with the swelling in my woman parts, so weird! My first PO appt is the 29th and I am hoping to get my drains out. My husband has been the absolute best. I couldn't have done this without him! Happy healing everyone!

PO Day 2
I am feeling better today. I have been carrying a low grade temp and the binder is driving me aboslutely crazy now though. I suspect I have some swelling going on. I have 2 drain tubes, they are both slowing way down so hopefully I can get those out next week. Doc told me I could take the binder off and sponge bath, but just be sure to get it back on securely. I don't think that I am ready to take that step yet, more than anything i'm affraid i won't put it back on haha I have blisters on the side of my left leg from the socks you have to wear for clotting. My vagina looks like someone just stuck a needle in there and put in about 20 ccs of something! I hope that goes away and soon! Anyone else experience that? Havent had much of an appetite...going to go lay down now as my pain meds are kicking in. Overall, it could be worse! Every day will be better!

Provider Review
Researched local doctors, checked credentials and found Dr. Thao and had a consultation. He made me feel very comfortable and was very positive about the results that I would get.
