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.

Hello from the other side...
Yes, well you haven't heard from me in 7 months because I've been busy!
Some observations about the mental/ emotional effects:
After so many years of no romantic involvement, within months, I had dates- and I wasn't mortified by the idea of someone seeing my naked (because that scar is nothing compared to what was there). While I think it's the single biggest (best) life change I've ever made, people didn't seem to notice. I got compliments- they noticed something was different- but even close friends "couldn't put their finger on it". I guess not everyone noticed the 5 lbs of blubber that I obsessed over.
Another strange thing: I think technically, i can be one of those chicks who can get away with a sports bra & yoga pants at the gym. But you know, I covered that sh*t up for so many years...I'm just not that girl.
For all you on the fence, OMG, just go do it.

Week 9 Picture
Those little ripples you see on my hips are...bones. I keep trying to pinch them...I guess I always had bones underneath all that fat?
134.5 lbs today. Not dieting...just learning to be present & happy in the moment with my body for the first time ever. Going from 37 years of hating what you see in the mirror to loving what you see in such a short period is really, really a big change.

Week 8? Update- I've lost track
Just checking in with a report from week 8 or 9- I'm not sure!
Swelling has resolved and I'm back to all regular activities- lifting & running included. My only limitation is my own endurance.
I'm down 3 pounds from surgery but not down a clothes size- I'm still a 2/4- maybe even closer to a 4 now. I went shopping this weekend and wow- everything looks good now- that is strange!
My scar is still very, very red and my one pocket has started to close up- still a ways to go before I can be in a pool or anything though.

Provider Review

I really liked this office, the location & the Doctor. It just felt like the right place to have this done. 5 days post op, I feel great.
