I have the most amazing 2 year old and awesome boyfriend but after getting pregnant and being on bed rest majority of my pregnancy I gained a lot of weight. I was about 110lbs before I got pregnant and have always been really active (gym, biking, hiking etc) I gained about 45lbs and have lost most but my baby was 9lbs -I was left with an awful tummy.
I don't plan on having anymore children, although I have been thinking lately how I'd love a little girl ;) but my pregnancy was so complicated I feel blessed with my baby boy I have now. I am scheduled for August 24th and can't wait!

Today was my day! I can't believe how good I feel, of course there is discomfort but I am feeling great. I am able to walk and use the restroom by myself, I hope tomorrow isn't brutal lol my ps and his stafg were amazing too! My ps doest use drains so at least I am not dealing with those;-)

Yesterday was my surgery, muscle repair an NO drains, my doctor doesn't use them, I have to admit I am in NO pain.
Today is my 2nd day PO I feel amazing, just got home from my post op visit, doctor is amazed that I am walking normal and am in good spirits. Very happy with my results so far :)

5 days po and I am feeling amazing still, I can't even believe that I feel this amazing! I have been off all pain meds since days 3 and have just been keeping up with my vitamins, arnica montana and most importantly WALKING. I have taken showers and my sleep through the night is perfect. Today I relaxed with my 2 yo and actually got ready (make up, hair) I feel amazing, I owe it all to my Dr and his staff who have been terrific.

Today I am 23 days p.o and I feel great! I have to admit I overdid it last week and my DR told me to slow down, I just can't believe how good I feel. Swelling is pretty bad in the evening but overall I am so happy with my results! I have no regrets :)

My rating:
Dr. Hopkins and his staff were outstanding,the most friendliest office, I had 3 other consults and none of them made me feel the way Dr. Hopkins did. I would recommend him to anyone.
