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.

Almost 2 Weeks
Tomorrow will be the official 2 weeks mark. I will be able to drive and will start going for walks.
I think I've done more than I should've physically speaking. I did have to cook for the kids and clean a little (I have a roomba so no vacuuming lol)
People have done my laundry and done grocery shopping. I definitely didn't pick up anything over 5lbs.
I'm glad I listened to my Dr. the challenge now is to continue to take it slow.
I thought about walking at the gym since it's cold out, but my mom pointed out that I'll do too much cause I'll be "in that environment". I agree. I'm a gym rat and self conscience about my looks, so it's hard for me not to work out.
I'm commuting to not going to the gym until dec 1st, which is actually 6 weeks to the day from my surgery.
I'm almost able to stand up straight, which is nice. I definitely don't want to stretch out my scar, so I'm not forcing that issue!!

A Little Down Today
I got my period during day 9 of recovery, which was fine. Today I have super bad cramps and I'm just feeling down. I really dislike the swelling in my mid section. It's making me feel insecure and nervous that the swelling won't ever go down. On the other hand, I know better. Recovery takes time. It's hard to know what anything is going to look like 11 days into the process!
I'll post pics next entry....
