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.

Thank you all you wonderful ladies for your help....
Thank you all you wonderful ladies for your help. I feel better already, but still get queasy when I think of that day ( even though its not even scheduled yet). For those that felt it wasn't that bad, did you have a pain pump? My PS says he is not a fan of them. He says they are about $350 and don't give you much more relief than reg meds. Also, did you all feel more comfortable in a recliner or bed with pillow wedge? We have a recliner, but it doesn't have an arm lift. You have to use your stomach muscles to move it. I was thinking of hanging out in ou sofa sleeper with pillow wedge and lots of pillows. It's much lower to the ground than my bed and easier to get out of. Also, did you all feel it was necessary to have showering chair or toilet chair? Why do you need to sit in shower, because your weak from pain meds or because its still hard to stand up? I'm only 5 feet and low enough to the toilet that I don't think I would need the seat thingy. I haven't made my final decision to do it yet, but really want to. I keep telling myself, if I can get through a week of brutal torture, I will be on the mend and have the rest of my life in more comfort. I'm very uncomfortable stuffing my gut unto my clothes. That is where most of my weight is. Let me know your thoughts. Your comments have helped me immensely to feel more calm.

I've had a consult and want the results, but I'm so terrified of the recovery and risk. My PS says its about like a c-section. I've had one of those and it wasn't a big deal. I didn't have to walk hunched over, I wasn't confined to a chair for days causing my backside to be sore. Someone on this site posted the pain was a level 10 and she wanted to stay over night in the hospital bc it was so bad. That scared me so much that I couldn't sleep for days and I get nauseated when I think of the surgery. So, for those of you who have done it, is it really tolerable and like a c-section like the dr said? My hubby thinks they aren't telling me the truth bc they just want me to do it. I've lost 40 lbs and had 2 kids so my tummy is now sagging and big and very uncomfortable to tuck in my pants. All I ever want to wear is loose sweats. Help!
