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 gained 60 lbs during my first pregnancy and gave birth to my 9lb 9oz son 16 years ago. That gave me a "tummy butt" as I so lovingly called it. Yes, my tummy has its own butt, and hidden somewhere in the skin folds is a very shy belly button, wanting to come out. I went to a PS for a TT about 12 years ago. I asked if he could cut a few incisions and just pull my skin around in different directions, and I proceeded to show him exactly where I wanted the incisions :) He said no, he must scrape off the fat, sew up the muscles, and give me a new belly button. WHAT?? I had no fat, and my belly button is just shy, doesn't mean you have to get rid of the little guy! And my muscles are just fine, thank you. Then I read through his information, and that's when I learned about the drains. DRAINS?? Ohmy, it looked terrible! I actually cried and I didn't go through with it.
But I always longed for a TT every time I looked in the mirror. Every day.
Just when I thought things couldn't get worse, I had another child! I now have extra skin on my tummy, upper thighs, butt, and chest. I had a mammogram the other day, and I heard how they are uncomfortable because they squish your chest very flat. Well, I was very sad when she didn't have to do any squishing, it already just laid there like a pancake, perfectly flat on the table!! sigh...
So, I am all done with my childbearing years, and I'm scheduled to get a TT and breast lift with no augmentation on Aug 23. I can't wait! I am not nervous at all. I had two children with no drugs, and I bounced back very quickly from another surgery. So I am hoping for a fast, easy recovery. haha, I know it won't be fast or easy, but I'm keeping a positive outlook.
I'll post pics of my tummy-butt and pancakes soon.

Well, surgery went well. SIx hours since I woke up. My chest hurts on the inside, the same pain when I wear a bra too tight. Otherwise I'm not in too much pain. It's a constant dull pain, bearable. I did ask for drugs about four hours ago and slept a lot.
Now onto walking. OH MY GOD! I'm stuck! I really tried but couldn't make it. So I googled how to get out of the bed. Apparently I need to turn onto my side and push up while draping my legs over. Any ideas out there? I'm going to try again in a half hour or so.

Here's a suggestion. If you aren't in too much pain and have no meds in you DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SIT UP!

Highly recommended from my obgyn. Every medical professional I spoke with said he is the best and the local medical community goes to him for any procedures. He has the credentials and awards. Great bedside manner, he takes time to understand what I want and then does a great job achieving it.
