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.

Please share sleeping stories/advice 4 weeks post

I'm having difficulty sleeping flat in bed. My lower abs are still tender and very tight (not complaining) I wake up with back spasms. It is so uncomfortable to lay on my side. I can't sleep in the recliner any more. I cannot fall asleep reclined though I'm exhausted. I need sleep. Please share your best advice or your sleeping story. I. Need. Sleep.

Back Pain After Tummy Tuck?

I was doing OK and getting around more. When I woke up yesterday, I kind of felt cemented together. I was a bit more hunched over than usual.
I went to have drains removed and yes, it's part of the healing process.
After my appointment we went out for lunch and then a small shopping trip that I had to cut short because my back hurt.
Went home, rested, every time i got up I was ok for a minute then back pain!
Anyone else have this?

Taking Drains Out!

While I was standing, Dr. W. sat on a stool, clipped the sutures, and pulled out my drains one at a time. There was a strange sensation as the most inner part dislodged from the tissue which became its home over the last 12 days. It was interesting to see the inner drains. They were flat, white silicone covered in holes.
My holes are covered in gauze and should heal on their own, no sutures necessary.
I'm so glad they are gone.
The other great news today? I get to shower! No more adult baby wipes and sponge baths or sink shampoos!

Dr. Weinzweig explained the procedure thoroughly and made sure I had realistic expectations of my outcome. He was patient and took time to answer all of my questions. I suppose any doctor can do those things but Dr. Weinzweig was the only doctor who made me feel that he genuinely cared about me and that he was going to treat me the same way he would his sister. I was comfortable with Dr. Weinzweig immediately. He is kind and has a great sense of humor. Also, Dr. W. gives back to those in need by performing surgeries on children with craniofacial anomalies.
