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.

7 weeks post op
At the 7 week mark my abdomen is feeling soft whereas it was feeling quite hard up until a week or two ago. Swelling has gradually subsided. The incisions are readily visible but dont look too bad. The only thing that is not how I like it is that my abdomen seems a bit lumpy or uneven like there are small pockets of fat that are still present.
3 days post
I'm feeling well. Have switched to a different compression garment since hospital supplied garment did not cover op area. Trouble is ut has a closed crotch and needs to be removed to pee. Hence docs 5 days solid in the compression garment is not really doable. The new garment is not as tight as the hospital one. Swelling has increased a little i think but not bad. Have been out shopping via walking around phuket all day today. Not feeling pain. Skin is numb in varying degrees over the operation areas.
Pre Op Photos and 36 hrs after
Feeling pretty mobile on day two. Muscles feel sore like having done an abs workout but nothing that warrants taking painkillers. I think the compression garment is too short for me - it hasn't covered the lines he marked at the top of my abs and it goes down my legs where it is not needed at all. He did wrap a bandage around the my ribs below my boobs but that had slackened off fairly quickly, no one seemed to check it or tighten it.
I've noticed I'm peeing a lot, having said that Ihave been drinking tea and coffee quite a bit albeit they are very small cups

Provider Review
Dr Pongsatorn
Dr Pongsatorn was friendly and approachable and easy enouh to communicate with. I was back in my room about 4pm after surgery and I didnt see him again until about 10am the next day. For paying PPSI I would suggest using a company like oz forex to transfer payment into the Thai bank. Doing so saved me 700AUD compared to the bank transfer procedure the hospital recommended.
