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.

5 weeks postop
As a side note, I am 5'7" and weigh 200 pounds. I have another 15 that I would like to lose, but I also really love my body now.

I had the sleeve gastrectomy in 2013 and lost ~100+ pounds. I was left with what I call "bingo arms", and was slightly embarrassed by them. More just wanted them gone, and tried to look at the bright side. They weren't as large as some arms I'd seen after weight-loss surgery, and I didn't "need" them removed, but it was more economical to do them at the same time as the tummy tuck. I'm sort of glad I did them at the same time, somewhat wishing I hadnt. You need your arms to help you move around as your stomach is useless the first few weeks, so I felt like a turtle that had fallen over and couldn't get up. But, I've survived so far.
I'm still recovering from this surgery, 5 weeks post-op. I've been taken care of by the doctors office, and seen regularly to ensure they heal. I've had one revision, which you'll see in the pictures. I'm ready to be done with the healing already!
Hope to get stitches out next week.
The pictures are hard to distinguish, as I can't recall which arm is which, but here they are at about 2.75 weeks post-op.

Provider Review
Dr. Michael Workman
He seems to be very knowledgable, and allowed me to inundate him with questions with every visit. He was patient, but seemed to be set in his ways, which isn't so much a bad thing, but I wonder if there's room for suggestions from other people. My mother spoke with a wound nurse at her hospital and she suggested I use Juven. He seems to care about my recovery, and the office has been accommodating.
