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.

1week 2 days post op: Went to see my doctor today...
1week 2 days post op:
Went to see my doctor today. He said everything is going fine, but I must keep the drains a bit longer (maybe a week) because i still have some fluid coming out. He lowered the dose of antibiotics though, and the frequency of the painkiller (paracetamol 750mg every 8 hrs).
He removed the stitches at least, prescribed me a cream to apply 2wice a day on scars.
He prescribed also lasix diuretic, 20 mg (1ce a day), as I have water retention (plus my period grr)and I hope will help me be a bit less swollen...
I feel quite sore muscularly, but can move a bit more "fast" and easily... but I get tired very easily: its incredible that just the fact of climbing 15 stairs makes me out of breath, when before surgery was able to run non stop for more than an hour!...
Anyway.. patience is a key, isn't it? :P

1 week Post-op.
Hello everyone, today I feel less sore, but still very swollen. Yesterday made the mistake to go to a friends house and before that go to the super market with a friend to buy stuff, but when I arrived at the friends house my feet and ankles were so swollen they hurt and looked they were going to explode :( I had to lie down with feet up which relieved me from pain, but my feet are still quite swollen also today .... Apart from that I hav had stomch issue with pain probably due to the antibiotics & painkillers. As per my doctor I bought Nexium with helped a bit, although my stomach still feels funny today, but less painful.
Tomorrow no more antibiotics (yayy!) and only 1 painkiller (paracetamol 750mg) to take every 8 hours. Dr also recommended Arnica Montana, for a month, but I dont feel any les pain or so when taking it... What about you ? how do u deal with post- op.??
Will keeo you posted, Wednesday wil see my Dr who will remove the drains... (now thats also a pain in the ^%$!!)
Although my body is swollen and I look worse than before surgery, I still keep positive that when swelling will go away I will see some result!!

Day 5 at home: Feel quite swollen still, pain is...
Day 5 at home:
Feel quite swollen still, pain is less and tolerable. So I took my garment off for the 1st time after my surgery to wash it (be4 you ask YES I did wash myself the days be4 I just didnt take the garment off..) I was so scared it would be painful, but all went well: I saw my body which was full of bruises but a little less swollen than 1st day at home. Putting on the other garment was easier than I thought....
