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.

Got fat

Due to some illness (3mo respiratory illness, a broken ankle, hospitalization w/asthma diagnosis) and I believe hormonal weirdness, add in a bunch of stress including losing 3 close family members and 2 dogs in that time (not to mention covid) and I was a wreck. I tried dieting, exercising, and calorie counting, but couldn't lose weight and my bp and cholesterol were nuts. I decided to get WLS. The way I'm losing weight looks like the lipo will help shape as I go. I have a review for that pending.

6 week 4 day photos

I haven't done an update in a while and these photos are a little old. I'm coming up on 8 weeks here shortly but wanted to get these interim photos uploaded. I have my next post-op appointment tomorrow, July 11th. I'll be asking about my bump and hopefully getting my original before photos.

Day 23 pictures

Day 24 with day 23 pictures. I'm starting to be concerned with my "bump" that is on the right under my belly-button. I would love to hear from anyone who had a bump like this that eventually went down and/or evened out over time.

Doctor Castor has a pretty approachable personality and didn't make me feel like I was inconveniencing him or taking up his time. He was willing to answer questions and I only felt slightly awkward/self-conscious during the consult- but I think on some level that's normal for meeting a stranger and being in such a vulnerable position. I felt that he listened to what I wanted and what my goals were. I was advised that a tummy tuck would be a more effective procedure but felt that discussing realistic results from liposuction was helpful for my goals and financial/logistics constraints. I have done one post-op appointment so far and he was very easy to ask questions. I have had to call the office a few times for questions and everyone I've talked to has been extremely nice and helpful. Doctor Castor even called me back on the weekend to discuss OTC pain medication options when I was afraid I would run out of the prescribed pain pills (I did run out but ended up not needing a 2nd prescription). I am on day 12 and already seeing noticeable results, so I'm happy. If I look even better after the swelling is done in a few weeks I will be right where I wanted to be.
