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.

4 year update
Posting for a user who asked for an update. I weigh 135, same weight as when I had this done. My scars healed beautifully, back is still smooth, but stomach never got better. Sometimes it appears lumpy or saggy in the top portion, not smooth. Got a second opinion a year and half post and they said I should have used garments tailored to my frame because I don’t match up with standard sizing in order to have it be tight enough on the stomach. I don’t think a tighter garment would have changed the fat that wasn’t removed in my stomach… just maybe helped for a smoother result. Hope this helps!
11 days post op, progress feels like it’s degressing
I’m 11 days post op now. Sleeping is getting easier. Officially don’t have to switch between my med & large Faja and waist trainer. Wearing the medium in both with an ab board and sometimes a lumbar board. My incisions are looking better on left side than my right. One opened up a bit the other day but it more seemed like it was a scab bleeding. I included photos.
I am now 2 pounds below my weight on operation day. And swelling feels better in certain areas besides in the middle of the night when I wake up. But things feel lumpy and don’t look as flat and even as when I was more swollen on day 6.
I am getting nervous that my stomach won’t be flat because my back is looking great and smooth but not my front. I’ve been massaging which seems to be helping But I’m still anxious.
I feel like part of the problem is my measurements I’m currently a 38-27-40. I feel like I could use a tighter garment in my stomach area but I can’t downsize because my hips are so large and my sternum hurts. I tried a metal corset the other day for a few hours so I could customize where I was tighter but took it off eventually because I didn’t want to be going against my plan from my PS.
I guess I just need to be more patient. I just expected to be looking better for each day, not worse.

One week post op photos
For some reason these photos didn’t post when I added them with the update below.
My review has to be 200 characters to post this so I’ll just add how important i have found it is to drink water to go to the bathroom. I am now drinking over a gallon a day, (approx my weight in ounces 135oz) and maybe that’s helping speed up the recover
