How it works

- 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.

Work and swelling update...
I saw my PS on Thursday and explained what happened and showed him the picture. His response was "wow!". He suggested trying to go back half days.
Me: that was a half day. He suggested wearing my binder. Me: I was wearing my binder. So two more weeks off. My body sitting in the position that I have to work at with no breaks for at least 5 hours is not working. Dr. Brown explained that it is the fluid in your body that is trying to find new pathways . When i got home from working I laid on my back with my legs raised by pillows and when I woke up my tummy was flat again. It was a bit frightening since I hadn't had any swelling like that previously. The good news is that he said it will get better.
I am feeling a burning prickly sensation around my abdomen now also. This is the nerves that are reconnecting. This is good news. The human body is an amazing thing.

working and swelling
I went back to work this week after 6 weeks off. I've worked 2 5.5 hr shifts and
After last night I was the most swollen I've been sinice I've had the surgery. Do I need to take more time off? I'm a hygienist and I wonder if the position is too taxing on my muscles yet. I'm very stressed out over what to do....

I hope this helps
I've taken some photos of the Firma Energywear pamphlet. The bonus is that if you have extended coverage you may have coverage for this.
Provider Review
Dr. Aaron Brown
I am very pleased with my interactions and the surgery with Dr. Brown. If I have a concern or question I have his e mail and personal number that I can ask or text him. Generally his response has been very quick. I think some might find his personality dry at first but I think he is quite funny and shows care and concern with his patients. Office staff are not super friendly however that doesn't bother me, they have always been helpful when making appointments etc.
