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.

So worth it!

3 weeks and 1 day, Dr. Torina, is great. Check out my body. As you can see he shaped me. I am still swollen but everyday I am getting better.
NY all the way!!!

Day 8

So I have not been wearing my binder 24 hours a day. I'm up and walking around, but the back pain is present. I stopped taking the pain meds, just over the counter. My back only hurts when I'm up and doing things. When I'm sitting I'm fine.
I can tell I lost weight. I put on clothing that I had previous to the surgery, that adjust to your waist and they are big. I think I lost some of my thighs. :( but I know your weight goes all over the place. I will be posting photos soon.

Update

The pain is not unbearable. Every day it does get better. The first two-three days you truly rest. On the fourth day I came out the bedroom sat in the reclining chair. The first day I took my medicine on time. On the second days I could wait every 6 hours. Now I barely take it (maybe once a day). I went to see my PS, and he said the surgery went well. My left drain was removed. Next week they will remove the right drain. I was told I cannot bathe until my drains are removed. I can only sponge bath. I do not have any bruising or excessive swelling. Bless Dr. Torina for this.
On the side note my back broke out really bad possibly from the binder and there was a lot of cotton between the binder and my skin. I will update in a few with some photos.
