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.

It's 3 AM of day 35 :)

And I'm awake. Grrr. I get tired and fall asleep early, but I can't seem to stay that way. I am 99.9% sure I have a seroma, I will be calling the surgeon's office in the AM, which is complicated since my room full of students is once again a part of my life. Only 2 days this week, thank you Jewish calendar. Posting a couple pics. Me in a bikini, and me in my pre-surgery muffin topping size 8 shorts, with my hand in them! I would like to be an old navy 4 by the time I am done with myself, but I may still have too much skin on my backside, I would "settle" for a 6. Ha. Never did I think I would be able to say that when I was buying size 20s. I am missing my exercise. I bet Snagglepus the seroma will keep me from it for longer.

By the way, I am extremely happy with my results. The above is indicative of the day to day feelings after being chopped up, but I would do it again in a second :)

Opening in incision?

Looking for opinion/advice from anyone who had an opening in their incision. This is right under my belly button. I know it is really tiny, I noticed it in the shower last night. It is moist and white when compared to the rest of the scar. Not sure if it is better to keep ointment/covered or open to the air. I certainly don't want it to grow! Thoughts? Thanks!

Work!

I'm back to work. Day one with the kiddos. I am swollen, but I felt ok. The swelling is concentrated between my belly button and incision, just like everyone else says! I bought a couple new stretchy ankle length skirts since I was too exhausted to do laundry and everything I can fit into and wear to work was dirty :)

Starting to feel really depressed and socially separated from people. No beach, don't really even like being out of climate control because these garments make me sweat so fast. (side note... after trying the spanx like things I'm really just more comfy in my surgical garment) It's disheartening to be so swollen and not be able to enjoy my new body. I keep trying to remind myself it's temporary.
