- 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.

Drains Removed and Phantom Belly
Happy to report that drains are now gone. It hasn't been easy this past month. Although my tummy is numb, I sometimes have a strange sensation of a phantom belly. Sometimes I feel my belly and look in mirror to process that it's gone. I also read another post discussing the same thing so I'm not alone. There's still swelling mostly in the lower abdomen but it has decreased significantly. Daily massage helps. Scar looks great,
and massaging does flatten it out. I was told to use Spanx but the binder feels the most comfortable right now. Still searching for the right pair of Spanx. The one piece is a pain. Am I right? Pics will be posted next week. Excited!

Day-15 Update
I'm healing well but drains are staying in for a few more days or so until I drain under 30. I really want them out. Staying patient and positive. Pain is manageable and only take pain med on occasion at bedtime. Feeling better everyday and think that I might be able to drive this week. Caring for myself is getting easier which is very encouraging.

Still swollen and have some light bruising but happy so far with results.
