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.

Before/After
I took a pic yesterday after my shower. I never remember to take pics when I have everything off!
First post-op today!!
Oh my gosh I hope he takes this drain out. It's starting to hurt and it's very hard to get comfortable. I only have 1 drain and it's about an inch or so below my incision. I'm expecting my period next week so I do NOT want to think about still having the drain.
I'm also hoping to get a new binder or be able to transition into a compression girdle. I'm still battling the binder shifting and rubbing on my incisions. I started wearing my husband's tank tops under the binder and bra but they are an Xl so lots of extra fabric. He got me a pack of smalls and I had a hard time getting them over my boobs! I should have taken a picture before I put myself back together.
It would be awesome to wear something that stays in place!! Especially when I go back to work!

The Good/The Bad
The Good:
I'm finally getting used to life with this drain. It doesn't bother me much at all anymore. I'm operating much more independently now and have only been taking vicoden at bed time.
The Bad:
I still have not had a BM. I've been taking stool softeners many times per day since the surgery. Also eating fruit. My mom is bringing me over some prune juice. Hopefully that helps move things along!
I'm also very swollen today. My binder keeps riding up under my bra. Then this swollen pouch pops out the bottom. I have to be careful because if I pull it down it will rub on the incision on my hips. I left a message on the nurses line because I'm wondering if I should cover my incision and apply the binder lower. Anyone have this issue?
