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.

Thyroid Strikes again!
So I have gain 17 lbs since my TT, at first I thought it was the holidays and travel. Turns out my levels were off again. Doc doubled my dosage and I'm am feeling good again. I have only lost about 5 lbs that I gained. I am going to have a revision on my scar on my hip, upper abs lipo and the one side of my pubic area that is bigger. While I'm in I'm going to have him lipo my back and arms! I figure if I can't work the weight off, I'll suck it out!
4 months out!
Oh my! It's seems like it's been forever since my TT. Right now I am in an akward stage where there is no swelling in my lower tmmy and it is amazingly flat. However, One side, just one side, of my pubic area is still swollen. How weird is that? LOL
And my upper abs are still a little swollen.
I haven gained back the weight I lost after the TT, so I really need to get my exercise routine going again.
But I am still thrilled with my results!

6 weeks post op
I wanted to update to let everyone know that its okay if you are not back to normal at 6 weeks. I was shocked at the muscle spasms and soreness that I had from just doing everyday things.
I have not started back to the gym yet. Just some walking and light (5lbs) weights on my arms and stretching. I am going to wait till 8 weeks to go back to Zumba. The swelling is getting better. I can now where most of my clothes, some are a little tight in the waist still. I am up in weight from 4 weeks post op by 3 lbs, but I'm still down from pre opp weight by 5 lbs.
I was a little down because it seems like all the others who had surgery in July are doing so much more. So I searched reviews and went straight to 6 weeks, I found that many felt the same way. So I just want to encourage you, It will get better and "normal" is a huge range of things!

Provider Review
So far I really like him. I love that he goes overseas and teaches medical school and spends 20 days a year on medical mission. I really love that he has impressed upon his employees the mind set of "My name is on their bodies, so they have to look amazing." It shows he has pride in his work. Dr. Shewmake was voted best PS in Arkansas in 2009 and made the list again this year! Love him, Love him, Love him!!! I highly recommend him!
