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.

It has been 8 months and I am stoked.
Ok so my scar is still a little visible but it has healed great. I am so happy I made my decision. The only work out difference is that I am not running as much (but still doing cardio and weights). I am now looking at changing my top half. So happy I got my mini!
post op day #13
New updates: Both drains are d/c'ed (last one was out on Thursday). Today is the first day I didn't take pains....just taking otc pain relievers. I have no swelling or fld in my abd cavity. Sutures are show no s/s of infection. Still not able to go to the gym...doc said two more weeks. Stated start out "easy"....I asked him to "define easy". I can pretty much walk up right....sleep on my side.....I don't like sitting still to long or I get uncomfortable. Overall, I'd say I am either I recover well or the surgery really wasn't that difficult. I will add pics.....still have some edema....(puffiness) but very slight. I am in the abd binder 99% of the time as well.
Post op Day 5...
Well.....I used the last few days to nap and be still (which is hard for
me to do!). My drains barely have any fluid draining into them. I
have showered twice....been changing my bandage as directed. I don't
have a ton of edema or bruising. Still walking around slightly hunched
over but I am more mobile and it is much easier to sit/stand. Miralax
has very helpful.....I haven't had any issues with going #2. Only
taking pain meds when I wake up...moving around and getting started is
the only time I have legit pain. Hoping these drains come out Tuesday.

This seems to be a very grounded and honest doctor. He is quick....to the point.....and very easy going.
