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.

So I decided to write and document my surgery...
So I decided to write and document my surgery because I see their is not many reviews regarding thinner women in my height and weight range. In 4 days I will be having a mini tummy tuck and lipo on my abdomen,hips,flank, back and inner and outer thighs. I'm 37, 5'6 and currently weigh 124lbs. I have had three kids and my youngest just turned 2. As you can see I have a lot of loose skin and some fat as well. After my first child I got back down to 115lb which was my normal weight but pretty much looked the same as I do know, just a bit of a smaller version. I became obsessed with working after my first child and no matter what I did, the flab would not go. I would eat more to build muscle then get frustrated and drop my calories to lose the fat. Then of course I would just lose all the muscle I put on. I have been dealing with this for 10 years and I have had it. I had know idea no matter how hard I worked at the gym I would never have the body that was in my mind. Genes can suck and I am now a firm believer of them! I like many others have not told my family or anyone that I am getting this done because I don't need negative feedback. Only one of my friends know and he is taking me down and back. So we will see if I can pull it off:) So here are some before pics. I will keep in touch!
It's show time!
Well it's 6:30am, about one hour before my surgery! Still not nervous, more excited then anything. I just keep thinking about... No more spending an hour trying to find something to wear in my closet to hide my muffin top, I will be able feel confident in a bikini, I won't hate my 3 best friends anymore:) won't have to wear spanks all the time, and most of all... I will now be able to achieve my fitness goals and hopefully have a rocken body!!!! If I'm able, I will post some post op pics today.
1day post-op, feeling good:)
So I forgot to inform you that 2 days before my surgery I started taking a probiotic and natural supplement bromIelain and vitamin c a week before. can't believe I want nervousness all! Everything went good. They had a hard time waking my up. I didn't want to leave. I just kept telling them to give me 10 more min:) So I stayed awake on the way back to my hotel room from the sugery center, which was a 15 min drive. They had a wheelchair ready for me so that was nice. Got up to my room and laid down ate some saltine crackers, yogurt and 7up. Took you my probiotic and antibiotic. Then a little later took some pain Meds? Then I took a nap. I starting writing this post yesterday by fell asleep! I felt good yesterday, you just need to make sure you stay in your pain Meds and you will be fine but a little sore in ab muscles and incision area. So it honestly not that bad at all so far. I would do it again of I had too. I also do have one drain I'm me. It's not to bad, you just have to pay attention and drain it. So we will see how I'm doing the next day. I have not had a chance to look at my self either, so I can't can't wait?! I'm at the doctors right now for my next day check up so hopefully I will get to see what o look like!
