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.

I am 41 yrs old. I have two beautiful boys ages 10 and 12. I have worked out consistently for the past 10 yrs and I eat very healthy. I am in good shape and fairly muscular. However, my tummy and navel has never responded to my excercising since my boys were born. They are stretched beyond return and no matter how much core and cardio I done, I realized that this was beyond my control. I dreamed of having a belly that actually reflected the hard work I put into it on a daily basis.

Had my pre-op at 11:45 on May 2, 2012. My

In to the washroom and quickly realized I had
Just started my period. I let the nurse know and
went to my locker to get a tampon. The nurse
said it was no big deal at all and that I would be
surprised on how many ladies do start around
their surgery. I went into the OR where the anesthesiologist
put an IV in and the nurse gave me a gas mask
to breathe into and the next thing I know I was
Waking up and it was done!

Post Op Day 3. I feel great today! Up around and able to make myself a coffee. No pain, just stiffnesss but still taking my meds regularly. I also just had my first BM! Yay! I have been eating super healthy and have been drinking lots of water so I think that may have helped. My spirits are great! I know I still have a long road to recovery but if things don't get any worst....I can totally handle this :)
Hope my other surgery buddies are doing well!
To all the other girls due for surgery this week......you guys can do this! Sending loads of positive energy your way! hugs!
