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.

25 days and I feel great
i cannot believe it has been more than three weeks. There really has been no down side for me. Healing is going so good. The only thing I have not done is workout and run. I have done exactly what I was told plenty of fluids, vitamins and stayed away from sodium. Still wish I had done this years agi????
Wow 2 weeks and I feel GREAT
i cannot believe that tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my surgery. I am in no pain and feel great. I have used my bed since day one. Was nervous because my bed is pretty high but it is so comfortable I could not imagine sleeping in the recliner. So glad it all worked out. My stomach feels real good. About an inch above and below my scar my stomach is a little hard but I try to run it gently and it feels better. I go back to Dr next Tuesday and I think I will go back to work next week 1/2 days. I had originally thought I would take 6 weeks off. But I don't think it is necessary. I feel so blessed! A big thank you to RealSelf. Could not and would not have done this with out all the information I got here!!????
Most would not understand
i scheduled my surgery for when my husband would be in Florida. Love him but he was not on board for this surgery. He felt I was ok the way I was. But I did not agree and I did it for me. I am 10 days out and still doing wonderful. I am showering my self since last Sunday and taking care of my incision. My daughters, sisters and friends have been there through this ride. I FaceTime with my husband every morning and have had no stress in my life through this. I think that is why I am doing so well. I am only taking Motrin but may try Tylenol pm tonight so I might sleep through the night. It has been so nice all the positive feed back I have gotten here. I would have never gone through with this if it was not for real self. I think the fact that I am a very active person has also helped. Sorry to ramble on - I am sure not used to having all this down time.
My swelling has really gone down. I massage the upper part of my stomach a lot. Will post more pics after my next ps appointment.
Take care all. And if you are reading this post and wondering if you should do this- do what makes you happy. Because that is what this is all about.
