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.

Almost 6 weeks..

Been cleared to swim, exercise and I can walk a lot more. Have way more energy and I'm not getting as winded as I was. Surgery really takes a lot of you!! I think being as fit and active as I was prior to surgery and the 100 lb weight loss really helped my fast recovery!

I went and bought a bunch of tight dresses for the first time. Felt amazing!

3 Weeks Post-Op

Things are going great! I had my drains out very quickly which was a relief and I'm taking it day by day. Some days you have more energy which is dangerous cause you think you can do so much, but then you pay for it!
Prior to the surgery my lowest weight was 137 and my highest 235. I gained back 20 lbs and was at 157. I worked my way back down to 148 before the surgery. I have been buying some new clothes, but everyday my body is changing. So it is difficult to know your true size. I was wearing a size 10 before surgery. Now I am back in my size 6 Express jeans! Down from size L/XL in panties to S/M.
I even bought a new swim suit - a bikini! For the first time in my life I am going to wear a two-piece to the pool!
That being said, the road to recovery hasn't been that bad in terms of the tummy tuck. The liposuction hurts more and is painful the first 2 weeks. Currently, my abdomen just feels tingly sometimes and numb sometimes. The right side of my abdomen and belly button seems to hurt a bit more, but I haven't had to really take anything even OTC drugs.

Staff is awesome. Dr. Rocheford is incredible. Answers all your questions and makes you feel so comfortable. I visited her during the consultation where we went over everything. Then I had a pre-op to learn how to take care of my drains. They had lists made for evening including medicine times. I met with her again prior to the surgery and she put me at ease by being a professional and calm.
