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.

I've been overweight since a young child. My weight has gone up and down the scale multiple times. My weight has been maintained at 144 pounds for more than a year. After doing all the stretching of my skin multiples times, I have very saggy skin and look like I need to be ironed out. It's awful.
Now I've retired and am a full-time caregiver for my husband who has multiple sclerosis. He's been very supportive and loving no matter my size. Being here and healthy for both of us is a priority now.
My mind has gone on guilt trips for doing this surgery for myself. But I'm now getting more into understanding that I need to feel great (I do now) and also look as good as I feel.
Your support here on real self has let me know I'm worth it and I'm very excited to be less than two months away from this adventure.
I'll be getting some before pictures and posting them soon. Posting them is a hard thing for me to do.

Date of Surgery Set

I've had a consult and the surgery date is set for August 3rd.

Before Pictures

Posting these pictures of myself was very hard to do. It sure makes a person see themselves as they are. My arm lift, breast lift, and lower body lift will all be done at the same time. I've ordered a toilet seat riser with handles. Also will be picking up body wash wipes and bed liners. Any other needed supply suggestions will be appreciated.
