I am currently 6 months post op for my breast reduction and lift. Dr. Danshmand did such a great job. He has great bedside manner which is extremely important. The whole process start to finish was super easy from the appointment to having the surgery. His front desk staff Liz was super responsive. He called a few hours after I got home to check on me, and his nurse called periodically to check up throughout my recovery. I was not in any pain after the surgery or the days after. My breast look absolutely amazing! I have recommended him to all my friends, and will continue to do so.
I am on day 5 post facelift. I feel pretty good and we’ll enough to go in public. Dr D does a fantastic job and so far I’m thrilled with the results. Pics are day 1 to today. The last one has sunglasses (no make up) to show that I could go out and people who don’t know me probably wouldn’t even notice. I also had my eyes done and some fat grafting Updated on 30 May 2022: Makeup covers most bruises, hair covers incisions. I drove a bit yesterday, no pain meds for 4 days and I don’t even need Tylenol anymore. It’s saying my files are to big to post more photos. I’ll see if I can figure out how to modify them so you can see bot twitch and without makeup today. Anyone who didn’t know me wouldn’t even know I had surgery at this point. I’m still quite swollen and I know it’s different but I don’t stand out as”beat up looking” at all like I did in the first few days. Updated on 30 May 2022: Photos this morning. Surgery was 06/25/2020. I had a facelift and my eyes done. I am feeling much better today. Took a short walk and with makeup anyone who didn’t know me wouldn’t be able to tell.. the hardest part right now is my eyes. I feel like I’ve been crying for a week. Updated on 31 May 2022: No makeup in this pic. Bruises are turning yellow. My eyes are still blurry and still feel like I’ve been crying for a week but I have zero pain. My face feels tight and a bit funny when I try to chew food but it’s totally tolerable. I’m feeling better every day.
I had a breast reduction and lift procedure 13 months ago performed by Dr. Daneshmand. I was very, very nervous prior to my first consult. During that meeting, he put me at ease, explaining everything so thoroughly and with tremendous compassion. I am so very grateful to him and the wonderful care I have received from him. In my opinion, he has the hands and skill of an artist. No hyperbole here. I felt hopeless before my procedure. Today I feel free. All thanks to Dr. Daneshmand.
I had a BA done by Dr. Daneshmand in June 29, 2017. I was referred to him by a friend who had hers done by him. Her results were awesome. From my first phone call, I knew I was going to be in good hands. His surgery coordinator Gayle was so nice and informative. In fact, all the girls are very nice. Cassie answers the phone, Parva I believe is the office manager, and Dr. D's nurse ( Shellie??) are all very pleasant and professional. Dr. D was very informative during my consult. He didn't make me feel rushed. He answered any questions I had. He took breast/chest measurements, and I told him what look I was going for/implant placement/incision etc. A week before surgery was my pre-op where we discussed sizes. I was under the assumption that I was going to try on sizers but instead he recommended I make my own rice sizers at home. He suggested a range between 350-400 cc's since I requested the natural look. I also requested moderate profile. I went home and made sizers and actually liked 450ccs. When I called his office to confirm the size, I actually requested 450 but his manager suggested I stay within the range he told me (350-400). So I asked for 400. The day of surgery was smooth. The surgery center was phenomenal. It was not only very nice inside, the staff was great. While the nurses were taking my vitals and inserting my IV line, Dr. D came in and sat next to me and held my hand reassuring me everything was going to be great. Also, the nurses were telling me that I couldn't have picked a better surgeon. In fact, a few of the nurses ended up going to him for their surgeries. I felt like I was in good hands, and I felt safe. I was not scared at all since they put me at ease. After surgery the doctor called my husband to see how I was doing and to remind me of breast massages. Parva called me the following day to check up on me, as well as the surgery center. Recovery was a breeze. Pain was expected. Visually everything was in place, nothing sloppy about my bandages. I am quite surprised there aren't more reviews for Dr. Daneshmand. He is fantastic, and he did everything I asked for. Not only that, but I've had no complications at all. I will absolutely recommend him to my friends and family! My suggestions to you: Do your research on both the Surgeon, and in your procedure. The more informed you are, the better your results and experience. Do not go into your consult hoping for the doc to take the wheel. Write down your questions, bring wish pics, and make sure you leave the consult 100% happy with the surgeon! If you are not, keep looking!
The proceedure was smooth, fast, friendly, successful, safe, I am very happy with the results. Dr. Daneshmand helped me pick out the best implant for me, & I would recommend him to anyone for this proceedure. I had been to another office for a consultation before Dr. D so Dr. D was my second consult. I knew the second I met him he was going to be the Doctor I chose. I am thankful that my regular doctor sent me to him as a referral. The procedure was less complicated, & less costly than the opinion of the first place I had gone to. Not that complication or cost are important (they can be) but Dr. D knows his work. He also is a very nice & good person who is so much fun to talk to when I have a follow up appointment. His people are lucky to be working for him & they are the best too. I would go back to Dr. D again anytime for any of the procedures he does.
I am over the moon and stars with my results. It feels great to have 20 year old breasts at my age!! Dr. D is an amazing Dr. I recommend him to everyone. Very friendly and professional doctor. The staff is excellent and always gets my questions answered and no one leaves you on hold. Really appreciated the coffee and friendly staff.
Hey Everyone! I'm excited to write this review, blog etc etc. So I titled this "Through a Looking Glass" because I guess I always felt like I was trying to see how the other half might live. Whether I mean the other half as in other people, or maybe even the other inner half of myself, in which lack of confidence may be containing. I'm sure all the women here can relate to what I am trying to say, so I wont go into detail. Today is Saturday 18th 2012 Day 2 Post Op *Breast Augmentation- Friday 17th 2012 *Implant type- Natrelle Silicone *Implant size- 457cc in both *Pre op size- 34B slight asyemmetry *Post op size- Currently unknown, swollen and lots of pressure. Ok so the Reasons why I decided to have Breast Augmentation. *Why Not??? Haha ok I'll get serious here. In all complete honesty I used to be totally against it. My Mom was a cosmetologist who had a breast augmentation when I was 9. At a very young age she had me in modeling school and doing some magazine children's photo shoots. But I was always kind of a tomboy in dresses lol. So in my high school years I refused make up, or anything that make me seem "fake" to society. You know the rebel chick. Instead I went with punkers and died my hair not so pretty colors, even shaved my head at one point! Among all of this, I never told anyone how I felt about my 32A cup size, not even my best friends. At 18 I had a son, my beautiful boy. After my pregnancy I was 34B, which got me all excited! Then they shrank to 32A and grew back to a 32B then gained a little weight and went back to a 34B. Which is where I stayed from about the age of 21 til now (25). I've always been pretty insecure, I'm short tan skin, Black hair and dark eyes (typical Filipino/white). I wanted to be pale, I wished my ribcage would shrink, my breasts went through times of being perky then saggy. After many disappointing relationships, I finally found the man of my dreams last year on the beach. :) This year we spontaneously drove to Vegas in the middle of the night and were married the next day. July 4th 2012 at the Little White Wedding Chapel (which by the way has fantastic service). My husband always told me he loved my breasts for there shape, and I always commented on how small they were and I wish they were bigger. Through all my years being a little bit of a feminist I suppose, I finally admitted to him I wanted Breast Implants. He did admit that he would definitely enjoy them bigger, but that he married me the way I was and it was my decision. His honesty gave me the confidence to forget about the judgemental women and men out there, and just do something for myself. So after years of torturing myself, because I was too afraid of being judged, but always insecure about my breast size, I made my decision. :) Ok so lets fast forward to the present. Yesterday was surgery, I wasn't nervous once and was waking up to my friends ready to take me home (husband had to work that day). *Day 1 - In and out of sleep all day....Surgery at 8 am, left at 11 am. - The pressure was almost unbearable, it wasn't until I was allowed to take a pain pill that I started feeling better. I also woke up incredibly hungry around 10 pm. Then went back to in and out of sleep. *Day 2 - Better, much better. Ice is my best friend along with pain pills :) Ace bandage is off which helped relieve my chest pain a lot. I have some bruising around the underside of my breasts, but the breasts don't look so bad, except for the immense amount of swelling. So far so good. I have no post op depression, just a little irritation when the pain starts to set back in. I've been able to use the restroom on my own, although getting up is hard. I've decided to stay downstairs in a lounge chair. Ok well its still early in the game, so I will re-post again tomorrow and let everyone know how Day 3 is. I apologize if this isn't the most interesting post, haha but I am only on Day 2. Thanks for reading!!! Updated on 20 Aug 2012: Day 4 Post op- So far so good, not too much pain but still taking pain meds. Woke up super swollen lol. Feeling nauseated I think due to constipation from meds. I've been walking at least 30 min a day which seems to help me adjust to my new size and swelling a little. Other then that nothing new yet. Oh I'm measuring at a 34d right now, so who knows what D&F will do for me. Originally I wanted a full C but I'm kind of excited to possibly turn out bigger! Is that booby greed monster I keep hearing about? Lol. Ok its nap time then cook dinner for my awesome husband, whom without this would not be possible. Updated on 21 Aug 2012: Day 5 Post op- Off the pain pills and have finally be able to use the restroom :/ finally. Only news for today is I have blood blisters from my steri strips on my left nipple. Other then that I'm doing great more bored then anything. Lol I'll update again as soon as my laptop working online again. I hate touch screen phones sometimes! Updated on 22 Aug 2012: Day 6 Post Op- Pressure Pressure but no more pain! So I'm doing good, just bored I hate sitting around most of the day. Ugh, but at least the pain is gone! The only crappy part! is I have a small blood blister from steri strips. :( booooo. Not a big deal though, hopefully when it scars it fades. Ok so today in my realm of boredom, I decided to start looking up opinions on Breast implants. I'm appalled at the women, who sit here and say "well if a woman is naturally big breasted, and an implanted woman comes along its like cheating, therefore natural is better." Here is what I say to that. Ladies if you are naturally big breasted, more power to you! Thats great and wonderful! Unfortunately us with smaller breasts didn't get so lucky. I just think its funny all the judging and not even knowing the people personally. For example, I am 25, happily married, I have had one beautiful boy......Hmmmmm So I'm sure its OBVIOUS how much I want bigger breasts to go out there and say look at me look at me. Psh Anyways thats my short vent for the day lol more later! Implanted women stick together! :) Updated on 7 Dec 2012: It has been so long since I have been here. I'm dealing with an internal conflict on whether or not I'm truly happy I did this. I have slight CC in my left breast 4 months post op and I keep reading that it typically gets worse. My doctor says not to worry but I'm not sure if I'm even happy with my breasts anymore. I ended up being a 34DD and feel huge.... I'm so depressed and I'm so worried about CC getting worse. My doctor is wonderful, but I just don't know if these are for me anymore.... And the risk of CC later scares the hell out of me. Please help....
I dont know where to begin :) Its been a long journey for me.back in 1999 i had my first set of implants thinking i wanted big boobs LOL!!I Back then the saying was, "go BIG or go home".So I went BIG I went from a small "A" to a FULL "D"I had saline implants,Mentor under the muscle the left was 360cc & the right was 335cc which put me at a "D".As soon as i got them i was miserable.I felt i had gained a so much weight and i instantly wanted them out. I suffered through and kept them and while having them i got capsular contraction in my right breast.Not to terrible,deffinatley still live able. A year Later i noticed one was much larger than the other.So i had the smaller one replaced with a larger one,the left was then changed to a 385 to even it out.after years of not liking them still, i decided to exchange them for smaller ones. i wanted MUCH smaller.So in 2008 i had them replaced with Silicone Mentor under the muscle. the Left was at 300cc HP & the right was 275cc HP. Explaining to my doctor i wanted to be a "B" that i was really over the big breasts. First i contracted an infection a few days after the surgery. I was uncontrollably shaking.My body was so cold but the coldness kept moving around so i had heating pads and electric blankets and it was summer time. Couldn't get a hold of my doc. So my husband being a GREAT guy. started giving me antibiotics that we had left over,"i know your not suppose to do that but desperate times call for desperate measures LOL :) " Finally getting a hold of my Doctor he subscribed me some antibiotics and i was feeling much better.After all that then my right breast started hurting a LOT and was tightening and was as hard as a rock and now deformed. I could barely use my arm. I also discovered a swelling on the incision.So of course i contact my doctor.He wants to prescribe me Cingular for the capsular contraction which im already taking for allergies.I email him a pic of my breast incision where there is an infection. My response back from the doctor and his nurse was "that i had burnt my breast with a curling iron!" I was like are you kidding me??!!!! I would know if i burnt my breast with a curling iron.I finally got to see him in person,mind you i had a sever capsular contraction and was in soooo much pain i could barely move my arm. He told me he wouldn't touch it.He said he was going to just leave it alone. UGH!! so after living with this pain for a while a friend of mine suggested acupuncture.I know there's a lot of skeptics to acupuncture cause i was one of them,but at this point what did i have to loose.It either worked or it didn't.i wouldn't be any worse than i was.It worked a lot!!! It loosened the muscle quit a bit,so at-least its livable and soft. I still have a capsular contraction but no where near what i had. So that's my long story now im at the roads of what i want to do. I've always thought id change my implants out for some that are really small like 150cc,but after finding this site i have finally made a decision to "ex plant" im very excited and scared. Im scheduled August 10,2012 Ive met with quite a few doctors and have finally chose one in Orange county CA I am having my nipple lifted on one side just to even them up.He said i do not need a lift and i should be a "B" when all is said and done.Im really scared about doing this of course on how there going to look.I keep coming back to this site and reading everything all you ladies have gone through and its been soooo helpful to me. Everyday i keep hoping im making the right decision.I truly feel i am but still scared out of my wits :) Updated on 6 Aug 2012: okay the count down is on! Its official my surgery is Friday at 10:30!! Im getting a bit of anxiety.I hope they look good :) im ready to be free of the weight and the painbut still really scared Updated on 7 Aug 2012: im getting really nervous ,i know the surgery will go fine cause im in good hands.Its the after look and hoping i dont regret it. i cant stop noticing boobs everywhere i go and how much nicer the small ones look to me.So im excited and scared all wrapped in one lol. only 4 more days.ill take any words of advice from anyone :) Updated on 9 Aug 2012: WELL 1 more day!!! Tomorrow morning i will be laying in the surgery room :) im all the above right now, ( Excited,scared,nervous, and ready to be me again :) Im sure ill be checking this site in the morning on my phone LOL!! Updated on 9 Aug 2012: well posting 1 more pic of the TaTa's LOL!! before i say good bye LOL!! Updated on 9 Aug 2012: Well tomorrow at this time(9:15 Cali time ) I will be implant free :) my stomach is doing FLIPS LOL!! But I Love all my new Friends on here :) I want to say," Thank You ladies!" You all are sooo helpfull and supportive and it means sooo much to me that I have a place to turn to when I panic and no one else seems to understand :) all your kind words and positive outcomes has made me feel that I've REALLY made the right desicion for me :) Thank You! Updated on 10 Aug 2012: Well ladies there out :) won't be writing to much cause I'm kinda loopy lol but do far so good & no drains YEA!! I'll try and post a pic tomorrow when I can shower. Long 3 1/2 hour drive Hm cause the hwy is sooo bumpy but I'm almost Hm. So as soon as I get Hm it's all about my favorite things I picked up that I knew would make me happy in case I freaked out LOL! Peanut Butter M&M new jammies my favorite dinner and a movie. I can have Tylenol pm so I will be taking that to help sleep :) Updated on 11 Aug 2012: Okay here's the newest pic. Not very pretty but it's only the first day so I keep telling myself they are going to get better :) the left looks pretty good. The right is the one with the CC so it will take longer to heal. I noticed that my nipple looks folded but I think part of that is from the tape. I'm hopeful it will fill out. I took this pic myself so not the best LOL!! hope this doesn't discourage anyone. I almost didn't post in fear of someone changing there mind but I decided I need to cause when making my decision I wanted to see and read every detail. Still in pain today but deff feel better and I'm hopeful the end result is going to be just perfect :) Updated on 13 Aug 2012: Everything going good so far.My right breast is a bit more swollen due to the CC it is Day 4My nipple looks flapped over but im pretty sure thats from the way it is taped. So far so good :) I am happy Updated on 15 Aug 2012: Well saw the Doc today :) looking good except for the side I had the CC on. It's seems to want to pull back in. The best way to explain it is it wants to close the gap. So the bottom of my right breast is pulling up. Doc says its going to take time and in about 3 weeks I can start massageing it. That should help loosen it up. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm sure it's common just want to hear that there's hope it will settle down. Other than that I am very pleased :) Updated on 16 Aug 2012: so im adding some more photos :) im still soooo happy with my results!! GREAT DOC!!!! I LOVE putting on shirts and NOT feeling them out LOL!! Updated on 16 Aug 2012: Also my right Nipple is Taped up really well, so its not as bad as it looks in the pic. :) but i want to share even my ugly pics to LOL! Not to freak anyone out but in case it can help anyone thinking about doing this what stages they might go through :) and that it is all worth it :) and that it takes time for the healing process,and that they dont just look perfect over night and that were all going through this together :) Updated on 19 Aug 2012: Well today its been 10 Days :) and i couldn't be any happier!! I have to share that this morning while i was taking a shower how good it feels not to have implants anymore :) im sooo happy!! i feel like a WHOLE new person!! I was looking down being THANKFUL i didn't go to a smaller implant, i know id have been regretting it right now if i had gone with a small implant :) and please don't think that i would ever judge anyone with implants, cause i don't & never will.They just weren't for me :) Im SUPER HAPPY!! I know they have a lot more healing to do but i think there looking GREAT for 10 days :) Updated on 20 Aug 2012: okay im having a bad day :( im a bit depressed. My right breast is having issues.my nipple is caving in.I know its nothing the doctor did its just the way my body heals.The areola did not heal correctly at all.This is the same side i had the cc on.I love the size of my breasts and i have NO regrets taking them out.I just hope this can be fixed where it looks normal.Im pretty sure there will be another procedure to fix the areola area.My husband is sooo right,when it comes to my body if there is any side affect that could possibly happen,even if its a 1% ill get it. I see the Doc next week. I havnt posted any pics of it cause im quite embarrassed and i dont want to freak anyone out that is thinking of doing this. Im not your typical case :) Im still sooo very happy with my small breasts i was just hoping to come out of 1 surgery with no complications Updated on 23 Aug 2012: Okay so here it goes LOL!! still some caving in on my nipple area,but from what im told it will work itself out.Not so much tightening on the cc breast as there was.Im trusting my wonderful Doc :) I cant start massaging until i hit 3 weeks. which im still to sore to massage anyways LOL!! Im soo very happy when i put on a bathing suit top or even a tight shirt!! I went from hiding my breast to very confident :) SOOO VERY HAPPY with the size :) Updated on 30 Aug 2012: I think its looking better but it could just be me with wishful thinking 20 days post op LOL!! What do you ladies think :) Cant wait to wear a regular Bra but everything hurts right now except the smash me down sports bra LOL!!! :) but i dont mind at all :) Updated on 1 Sep 2012: Having a GOOD day :) I'm seeing my right breast get better. Hopeful it will just keep on trucking in the right direction and I won't need any kind of revision :) today is the Best day it's ever looked. The pulling up seems to be dropping so fingers crossed that the sunk in look goes away :) question for you ladies, how are you massaging and does it hurt? I have to push flat on my breast hard and massage around. It HURTS LOL!! But I do it. Does the massaging hurt anyone else? Updated on 6 Sep 2012: okay everyone im going to update my pics so i can share a bit of what im going through.Im really embarrassed and am struggling to show my hubby BUT it seems to be getting better :) so im hopeful :) but i am still very GLAD im implant free and have ABSOLUTELY no regrets. i LOVE my little boobies in a bathing suit top LOL!! :) Updated on 9 Sep 2012: Well it's day 30 for me and even with the complications I'm having i am still so happy :) I finally decided to go to a bra shop ( not VS) either. The lady was Lovely :) and I happy to say I'm an A !! :) AND IM EXSTATIC ABOUT IT LOL!!! She had me trying on push up bras when I finally decided I just wanted a plain cotton bra with no padding and no push up LOL!!! And I LOVE it!!!! I know walk around with my shoulders back and much better posture!! My boot camp trainer even said I look more athletic build now!!! YEA!!!!! I know I have a bit of a road ahead of me and I'll have my good days & bad but right now I'm walking tall with my shoulders back and more confidence in myself than ive had in a LONG LONG time :) Updated on 16 Sep 2012: Well still having issues. They have softened quit a bit but still a lot of puckering. I believe i see a revision in my future. 6 months needs to come fast LOL!! My spirits are up though :) im still soooo very happy i explanted and am loving my small boobies. I am getting more comfortable every day with them even with the complication i am having. All my bras i buy have no padding and no push up cause i LOVE how they look being small in clothes LOL!! I feel more feminine :) Updated on 22 Sep 2012: Hi Ladies :) well I'm 43 days out and just discovered one of my dissolvable stitches sticking out of my skin. Has anyone else experienced this?? I actually thought they had dissolved by now. Updated on 1 Oct 2012: well its been almost 2 months. there looking a bit better but i still have the puckering. still feeling pain and soreness but its tolerable. Im still soooo VERY happy that i removed. I love the size and the softness. Now if i could just get rid of the puckering LOL!! but i dont dwell on it anymore. My left areola looks a bit different, thats the one i had lifted a bit to make the nipples symmetrical, but im sure in time it will look more normal. My scars have been working themselves out A LOT! so i am very glad about that :) all in all im doing well and am super happy to be implant free :) Updated on 8 Oct 2012: Hi Ladies :) Well im just over 8 weeks. I took this pic this morning and i really think its looking better :) So Reed69 WE have HOPE my friend :) Im doing a lot of massaging with a massage pillow. Which i think has been a HUGE help.

So fingers crossed, its only been 2 months so who knows i may not need a revision :D Wouldn't that be FANTASTIC!!

I've always LOVED to hug but really withdrew from it all these years because of the insecurities of my Big Hard Breasts. I think i hugged everyone twice LOL!! they probably thought i was crazy, (not knowing i had, had my implants removed) LOL!!

I had breast augmentation 7 yrs ago and recently one of my saline implants slipped out of its pocket. This is causing discomfort and does not look the same as the other. In consulting with my PS about fixing this problem, I mentioned liposuction and he advised that because of the sagging skin I would not be happy with the results and would eventually return for tt. This forum has been very informative and gave me the inspiration and strength to proceed. Tues April 26th is the day to begin my flat tummy journey. I just want it to be over to start healing and am focussed on finally having a flat tummy instead of this muffin top which I hate. Concerned though tonight, slight sore throat, hope I'm not getting a cold. I am ready for surgery and don't want to have to postpone, will check with my PS tomorrow and hopefully this is just allergies. Please just be allergies :). Wish me luck. Updated on 25 Apr 2011: All is a go for tomorrow at 10am, spoke to nurse today and she said as long as I do not have a fever, flat tummy her I come! Spent all day getting things in order, recliner is here and I just love it. Thanks so much for that advice, it will certainly make getting up and down easier. Had a healthy dinner, vegetables and grilled chicken and have been drinking lots of water. I am going to eat my chocolate "muffin top", not kidding, got them at Costco and they are yummy, and look forward to them being the only mt's in my life from now on. Have had a couple moments of doubt, mostly in regards to not being able to do much for awhile, I am a very active person and not one to ask for help. I am sure this will change very soon :). Overall, I am anxious to just get it over with and begin the healing process. I am focused on the end result, even have a photo on my fridge that was taken in Las Vegas where they superimposed my head on the body of a showgirl...that's my new tummy. Hope I sleep tonight. I will update as soon as I am able. Updated on 30 Apr 2011: Day 4 post op and all is good, very good actually. Had first bm last night and another today. Will continue with one laxative a day as long as i am taking vicodin. Am trying to use extra strength Tylenol between vicodin. I went 5 hrs last night between vicodin with a couple tylenol in between. Beginning to have stinging sensation at scar and drain site. I think this is a good sign for healing. Still get very tired easily but will take it easy even though I want to go around to clean and tidy up. Have been keeping myself entertained with tv and am grateful for royal wedding at this time. Will have shower today and wash hair, I know that will take a lot out of me. Drainage down to about 8cc most times and now some yellowish fluid is coming out, can't wait for Tues to get drain out that will really be a big step. So all in all, happy I did this and still am kind of in awe as to how fast it all came together. Can't wait to put on jeans and a tshirt without having to cover up with something to disguise the muffin top. From what I can see my scar is at a good level but truly I haven't looked too much. The numbness at belly feels really weird but I am sure this will begin to have sensation soon. So in a nutshell, to those who are contemplating or waiting for their tt day, go for it with a positive attitude...you won't be sorry. Had another "muffin top" last night for dessert and those will forever be the one and only from now on. Yippee :)) Have a great day.
After having two kids, I saved up and was ready to have Tummy Tuck. The surgery was extremely painful and still to this date after 3-4 months, I have pain and sever spasm that feels like some one has sat on my tummy and a knife that cuts and burns through it! Portion of my wound did not heal easily and was open for a few months. With all of these I still would have been happy if the outcome was positive. But...Not at all! I am more unhappy than before.
