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.

Nausea has been hitting me really bad every time I try to take a picture, so I was only able to get one. I'm really happy about not having to use drains. I went ahead and put on a size L Spanx shaper for my stomach, which has helped.
Still haven't had a BM yet. Called the nurse about it and she said just to keep taking laxatives and call on Monday if it still hasn't happened yet.
I'll be honest, the belly button scared me half to death the first time I peeked into my bandages and saw it. It seemed really out of place and inflamed whereas the long incision looked just fine. My mom reassured me that it wasn't placed poorly, and I got over it.

It's been about a day and a half since the surgery, and things are going well. The night after the surgery was great--my mom was here helping me out and the pain meds were still going strong. At some point during the night, I forgot to take the oxycodone prescribed to me and I couldn't move at all in the morning. Getting up to go to the bathroom was difficult.
I think the biggest issue has been that I had the breast augmentation done at the the time as the tummy tuck. My pectoral muscles are incredibly sore from the implants, so I can only really use my hands, not my full range of motion with my arms. I basically have to sit at the edge of the bed near my pillows, lay back, and have someone help me throw the blankets back on.
My dad brought over some ice cream and Jell-O cups to supplement my diet of chicken broth and protein shakes. The ice cream really made the difference today when I was bummed for a few hours this afternoon.
Tomorrow is shower day. I'll try to take some pictures if I can.

Two days until surgery! I started the supplements today and stockpiled some post-surgery food and beverages so I wouldn't have to go shopping next week :P
I will have a binder on after surgery, but I am not sure what to wear after that. Will spanx be enough, or do I need to get something specific?
