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.

8 Months Post Op
Hmm. I've gained 10 pounds post surgery due partially to my thyroid being out of whack post surgery and partially to real life interfering with regular exercise. Ugh.
I nursed my eldest child through the flu and pneumonia for 3 weeks and now I and my 8 year old have the flu. Not our healthiest month. On the plus side, I'm sure I'm losing at least a couple pounds.
I still have the upper abdomen bulge from before the weight gain, so I'm wondering if a revision might be in order.
Definitely better that what I started with. While perfection isn't s worthy goal, I am not sure I'm satisfied with the end result just yet. If I can get the extra weight off, I'll have a better idea.
The scars have all healed well. I'm pleased with my doctor, just want to see me at 160 lb before I decide on revision.
At the moment, I would be happy to quit having violent coughing interspersed with raging fevers!

10.5 Weeks Post-op
It's 10.5 weeks since my tummy tuck and liposuction surgery. I'm doing well.
- no restrictions any more
- can lift my 5 year old easily
- no pain along scar and scar is flattening nicely
- upper and sore and seem to spasm, esp when I first wake up or move after lying down a while; seizes up tight as a rock and not comfortable; deep breathing helps
- still using 3m brown paper tape on scar per surgeon until 4 months post op; when I change tape every week, I leave it off a day and treat with an essential oil concoction because the tape is drying
- happy with scar and belly button
- flanks still hurt from lipo esp after sleeping or resting a while; moving and being active helps a ton
- Mons is still ridiculously large. Not sure it's just swelling , but we will see.
- upper abs are now more swollen than anything. Under bb is very flat. This looks like an alien
- have not re-established a good workout routine and need to make this a top priority
- too many cookies/treats between Christmas and the month of birthdays (Jan.) means I lost zero pounds, but I haven't gained
I hope everyone here is doing well. I'm happy overall, but want the upper ab issue gone along with the last 15-20 lbs!
