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.

8 days until my surgery. Have been so swamped...

8 days until my surgery. Have been so swamped trying to get ahead on housework, errands, shopping, and all the other mom stuff that I haven't had too much time to be nervous. My kids are 8, 7, and 14 months. I'm a little worried about the no lifting requirement. Hard to not lift a toddler! I thought about waiting until a better time but it seems like this is my window. I can't imagine it would be easier with a 2 or 3 year old? Several people have told me that the recovery works best when the youngest is still a baby or to wait until they are in full-day school. So, unless I want to wait 4 years, this is my time.
I will post before/after pics soon!

2 more days--getting nervous

Now that all the preparations, errands, housework, etc are basically done, I have time to be nervous. Guess I should have scheduled more on my to do list! I don't even know what I'm nervous about. It's so many things...
-The pain
-The recovery time
-How everything with the family, the house, and everything else I take care of will go while I'm recovering.
-that I won't be happy with the results or won't look any different.
I just want to be done with it. The last few days before a planned surgery are always the worst.

Tomorrow is the big day!

Today was craziness! Just when I thought I was all done with laundry and changing sheets... Baby was throwing up and 7 year old got sick this morning! Kept him home from school. It was actually nice having a day with my little guy. He and his sister were fine by noon :)
Just sick long enough to require 2 loads of laundry and a little TLC from mommy. I think it was kind of God's way of keeping me from being nervous today. My husband made it back from his business trip without any delays at O'Hare tonight so I think I now have everything I need for tomorrow. He's really being helpful and supportive. I'm feeling really blessed :)
I check into the surgical center at 7 tomorrow. My surgery is at 8:00. Fingers crossed. I'll post as soon as I can.
