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 was 6 wks PO yesterday! I really feel as though I've hit a turning point in my recovery. I'm much happier, and I've been doing some cardio every day for around 40 minutes. I still can't run yet- I tried, but felt a strange heavy sensation in my abdomen so I stopped. I will gradually try to get back into it. Right now, I'm just happy that I feel so much better. My stomach even looks better now too! For so long, I didn't like the way it looked. I thought that my belly button looked strange, my scar was too high, and was just generally unhappy with my results. Now it looks totally different! I'll try to add some PO pics tonight. I even tried on some bikinis and they covered my scar perfectly!

Today is 5 weeks PO and I'm feeling much better. I can easily get up and down without bracing myself, and I don't feel quite so sore when I get up in the morning. I'm also walking much straighter than before. I'm actually going to head into my office on Monday. I've been working from home these past 4 weeks, and I finally feel ready to be in front of people. There are definitely some things I'm looking forward to: sleeping on my tummy, feeling comfortable without my binder, and working out!
My PS doesn't want me back to working out until I'm 8 weeks PO, but I think that is just because he is located in Chicago, and I'm in NJ. If I have an issue, he isn't close enough to save me! :) I decided to try walking on a treadmill for a few miles and doing some light arms and shoulders. I'm going to start tomorrow.
I'll update in a week!

Adding some pre-op photos. I still haven't taken any post op pics, but will upload those when I do.
