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.

Finally an update..

I've slacked with updating. These pictures are from my 3 month check up. I actually feel the pictures actually make me look bigger than I really am. Just picked up a couple of size 7 pants the other day.. I am very happy with my results. I do have a hard-ish lump still on my left waist area, but Dr. Hoffman is confident that it will dissolve. There is no doubt I should have had a tummy tuck.. I do have lose skin (from 2 pregnancy's), but that just wasn't an option.. Time & Money. I haven't been as disciplined as I should be with food/drink.. As I usually do - I will get that back in check after food and drink season is over.

The actually procedure was much different than I anticipated. I didn't prepare for the "creepiness" of it. I couldn't look at myself in a mirro for over a week. I could see my body, but couldn't feel it.. Uck, uck, uck... Of course that gradually passed and I'm thrilled to see myself now. Yay me!!! And I know I'm only going to look better and better.

Dr. Hoffman and his staff were outstanding. They went above and beyond to make sure I was informed and comfortable with the entire process. They took all the time I needed and never wrapped up an appointment.. I was always the one to wrap it up. Fabulous experience!

It went great!!

I am very sore and I am much better if I am standing - that's for sure. When I had my pre-op appt. with Dr. Hoffman he told me he would most likely remove about 2800-3000 ml of fluid/fat. He actually removed 4800 ml.. I know that isn't all fat, but it has to be more fat that what would have been in 3000ml. I just can't wait to get a better look today.

Countdown: 0!!

This is happening!! Have to be to the surgery center by 6:30am.. Sooo nervous! More later.. Hopefully!!
