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.

7 Days PO
Will the itching ever stop??? OMG, it's driving me insane. I know it means healing but this is ridiculous. I feel the same about the evening swell hell. Each night I feel like I'm going to explode. I do try to stay away from salt and processed foods but it happens anyway.
I still have both drains and they are producing about 50 cc in a 24 hour period.
I took my first shower yesterday and it was almost over before it began. I found it difficult to stand too long and I was really paranoid about my incision. I think I'll stick with sponge baths for another week.
Bowel movements are happening each day now and are getting easier each time. The first one was a killer but I survived.
I've removed my cg once to be hand washed by my husband and as soon as it was dry I put it back on. It really does give me a sense of security and support even though when it was off, I felt very tight. I just worry about my incision and infection so I like to keep it covered and protected. I've been looking at purchasing another garment but I'm going to wait until after my PS apt next Wed.
I can stand pretty straight but my PS wants me to stay hunched over another week. It hurts my lower back to hunch over so I stay in my recliner most of the time unless I'm doing my daily walking of the house. Not being able to clean or bend over to pick something up from the floor is bothersome but I know it's temporary. My husband does the best he can but he works all day on his feet.
I've had the typical feelings of "will this be worth it?", "why did I do this to myself?", "when will I feel normal again?" - and I find that coming back to read others posts of feeling the same and then coming out the other end gives me hope.
I hope someone finds this helpful - I'm sure I will as I look back on the process.
