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.

Photo Update - PO Day 5
PO Day 5 photo update. After coming home and taking my meds I feel much, much better. Still feel pinching on my left breast and weird gurgling feelings / noises?
I don't know if you can tell the difference between PO day 1 and today, but I'm keeping my hopes up that they are dropping and healing as they should be.
I was also supposed to get my period on the day after my surgery, but since then, only cramps and spotting. Is this normal?

5 Days Post Op - Oh, the pain!
Over the holiday weekend I was on meds, and fully resting. I thought that it would've been enough time to recover so that I could at least go back to my regular routine at work (desk job). I decided to start the day off with Aleve, and no muscle relaxants, etc, thinking that it would be enough. Boy, was I wrong!
Throughout the day, I felt extreme tightness, overwhelming discomfort and pinching on my breasts. Not to mention the constant tension on my left breast. With this, I decided that tomorrow I will still take the pain meds I was prescribed and hope to stay as alert as possible at work. Unfortunately, there is just no other way for me.
Fortunately, I got a ride to and from work throughout this week, so that lowers the stress of the recovery with driving, but I really do hope I'm able to perform while on the other meds. How long did you guys wait before stopping your meds? Before going to work? Before driving? I appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you guys for the love

Updates from Post Op
Day 1 on meds and happiness.
I'm taking all of my meds as prescribed and went to the doctor this morning to remove the bandages. He removed them and said everything looked good. I set up an appointment for Monday (9th) for a check up and stitch review.
CORRECTION FROM MY LAST POST: my anesthesiologist was DR. Sergio, not Alan.
Today I ate just as well and had plenty of fluids. No unexpected events other than more frequent pain killers / muscle relaxants. This led to a few somewhat incoherent coversations over Skype. Lol.
I took a shower just now and noticed some bruising on both incisions and a bit. The pain with the meds is between 2-3. The tightness has moved from the center of my chest to the top of the breasts and near the armpits.
Currently, I've also started on: vitamin C, Bromelain to help with the bruising, Arnica Montana to help with the bruising and Vitamin A. Though I'm not massaging the breasts yet, I am rubbing slowly with BIO-OIL to prevent stretch marks.
Hope the swelling, bruising and that the need for the pain meds diminish before I have to get back to work and real life on Tuesday.
