Dr. Sherrill has been amazing to work with, he and his loving staff took very good care of me. I would recommend anyone that is considering PS to see Dr. Sherrill, I promise you will not be disappointed. From the moment I walked in the door, the entire staff made us feel so comfortable, all of our questions were answered before we could even think to ask them. As a side note, many of his staff members have been with him for 10-20+ years, that speaks volumes for his practice. Day of surgery, every detail was explained and I never felt nervous because I was so well taken care of. That night Dr. Sherrill called to check on me, the day after as well. I feel like he truly does care for his patients. Also, my results have been amazing so far! Updated on 4 Oct 2015: This was from earlier, but doesn't show my skin flap. Updated on 4 Oct 2015: I have been feeling great, the only pain I am experiencing is from my back, thanks to the hunched over old lady walking. I am taking valium 5mg, only once today and Lortab 5mg once also. I am using the binder Dr. Sherrill provided and a waist trainer I purchased from amazon, it has made life much easier, it keeps my incisions from being irritated. Still no BM since surgery, despite taking the docusate twice daily. I am still sleeping in my recliner as well, but sitting in my glider rocker during the day, hoping the rocking will stimulate peristaltis and help me with the gas! Updated on 5 Oct 2015: Today started out with terrible back pain, not sure if it is from sleeping in the recliner or not. I quickly took my Lortab 5mg and went back to the recliner, woke up an hour later feeling much better. Not much pain from the abdominal area, unless I bend or try to straighten up too much. I want to share the photo of what was removed, hopefully it won't gross anyone out too much. The doc says the removed tissue weighed in at 6 pounds. Plus he liposuction off 250cc. Updated on 13 Oct 2015: Sleeping in the bed again, ahhhh! But the back pain is absurd, I wasn't prepared for how much the hunch walk after a TT hurts your back! No pain meds for several days now, just hasn't been necessary. I do take ibuprofen for my back, which does the trick. Now, let's talk about swelling and draining. I went in at PO day 3 had surgical drains removed, with a total output of 650cc. Then went in at PO day 6 and had 85cc drained via a cannula the nurse placed in my abdomen, using a syringe. Then at day 12 PO, I was miserable, so went back in for a draining and had 165cc removed via the cannula technique. Which one would imagine would be painful, but it actually is a huge relief. My incisions look great, I am so excited to see how this progresses. I love looking down and seeing a flat stomach! That really makes it so worth it!
I read lots of reviews and have to say I was terrified!!!I had an amazing doctor that I have know for years and had total confidence in him I was just afraid I wouldn't be able to handle the pain.I wont like to you the first day I really don't remember but the next 2 I though I was dying. After the 3rd I got better and better and today (just 7 days out) I feel about 80% back to normal with hardly any pain!!I am soooo glad I did it...I feel more like the old me and can't wait to get back to the gym to tone up the rest of my body to go with my new tummy. The scar is low and will be easily hidden with whatever I want to wear. The only negative I can think of is my belly button is a little higher than I would like but who cares! I look sooo much better and damn it after 2 kids I deserve to do something to get ME back!!!I say go for it and if you are in Georgia or a surrounding state I would say make a drive to Dalton Ga to meet my doc!!! He is the best doctor in the world!I hope this helps and if I can answer any questions let me know!
