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.

First day back at work
My first day back was harder than I expected. I feel like my recovery has been so smooth, even with the swelling I started to experience in the last couple of days. But work was a whole new level of difficult. Wearing my garment all day long just made me feel compressed and tight everywhere. I might have to break down and wear fleece pants and sneakers tomorrow to stay comfortable. I still see beautiful results but I realize that this is not an overnight solution. It is an investment of time and patience
Swell Hell
I didn't really understand the meaning of this term until today (PO10). My belly is just hard as a rock and so sore - not painful, just sore. Even swollen, it is still smaller than before surgery, but holy cow is it swollen and hard. I've doubled down on my bromelain supplements hoping that will help and drinking water, but the swelling masks me feel so full, I don't want to eat or drink. Maybe that is a good thing.
Day 9 PO. Drains out and feeling pretty good
I got my drains out on day 7 at my first follo up appointment. What a relief that is. My drains didn't hurt, but they are a pain in the butt. I am also starting to feel better mentally. I think it is tough to think when you are working all of those meds and anesthesia out of your system. Anyway, here is a PO photo taken this morning. I have a fair amount of swelling but still such a huge improvement. I am happy so far with everything and Dr Bonness is really terrific. I have loved dealing with her and everyone on her staff.
