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.

I have been stalking this site since February! I have three kids and all were C-sections. I work out at least 5-6 days a week (spinning, running, elliptical, weight lifting), and I have a healthy diet. I'm a little over 5'8 and weigh 139 pounds. However, I can't get rid of my tummy! I am scheduled for August, and I'm extremely nervous. Can you please recommend things that I may need after surgery? Foods to eat to help with swelling, etc.? My DR does give the Exparel shot for pain. Is the recovery awful? I'm scared!!! Am I crazy to do this?
Pre Op Today
I had my pre op today, so it is starting to get real. I'm nervous, but my PS made me feel comfortable, and she does these surgeries all the time. I bought my CG and have to get my meds filled. She did give me a prescription for Dilaudid. I hate taking pain killers, but I know that I will have to. I just don't like how they make me feel. Anyone taken this before? I will also have the Exparel shot, which should last for a few days post op to help with pain. My PS also uses Progressive Tension Sutures. The nurse took my before pictures. I will take some pictures and post them soon.
Pictures of me now...
Here are my before pictures. You can see the shelf that I have from all three C-sections.
