- 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.

Cochran Cutie Post Op
Yesterday I started feeling like myself. I swear to Gawd days 2-3 bout took me out. I woke up day 2 rocking back and forth ask Why TF did I do this. I wouldn't allow myself to cry because I asked for the surgery. I was so close to tears but I pushed through. This is far worse than a csection. Don't let anyone lie and tell you the recovery is similar. Lies lies lies.
This is a humbling experience, especially when you can wipe your own ass. You can't go to the bathroom by yourself. If you have a large bust you need someone to hold your breast as you put your CG back on.
Midday 3 I started to see relief and started feeling uncomfortable versus pain. This is when I slowed down on the pain meds and switched to Tylenol extra strength. I set a goal to do at least 1000 steps, which I exceeded.
Day 4 I went the entire day without pain meds. I got out the house and felt tons better. I slowly began walking straighter. Still hunched but straighter. Luckily my clothes fit where you can't see my drain or tubes. I was happy that I made 5000 steps without pain or over exerting myself. I finally took a BM with the help of magnesium citrate.
Today is real good. I can laugh a little but nothing deep.

COCHRAN CUTIE IN THE MAKING
I am one day post op and I feel much better than yesterday. I think it was the shower that has me feeling refreshed. I must say if you are getting a tummy tuck for vanity reason at no well in hell would I do this simply to meet the visual amusement of others. This is very very painful. You itch and can't scratch. You cant wipe your own ass. You are completely dependent on others, so have a strong support system. Did I say this is extremely painful!
The day of surgery went well. Nurse Jenny (I think that's her name) started my IV on the first try. I didn't feel it it was so quick. I have small veins usually I give a 3 poke max but wasn't needed this time. After that I remember waking up. His nurses helped me to the car and gave me cheese crackers and soda so I can take my pain meds for the ride home. Dr C and his staff took excellent care of me. He even called me this morning to see how I was doin. I was a little concerned because I'm not draining that much but he isn't worried.
My bestie has been wonderful in caring for me. She has gotten to know my body pretty well. Cthu. I owe her a bunch of favors.
