How it works

- 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.

Went to the doctor this week to have my stitches...
Went to the doctor this week to have my stitches removed from where he had to cut open my incision. He removed all but 4 on Monday and he removed 2 of those 4 today (Wednesday). It looks okay, the PS is being cautious. Can't say I blame him at this point.
The hole that I have been packing since week 3 - it appears it IS my fault it has been taking so long to close. I have been "over packing" it.....I have been putting in about 2-3x as much of the strips as I should have...so, since Monday, I began putting less in - and - like magic - it has closed about 60% in 2 days!!
I was able to go back to work on Monday, thank goodness! I was going crazy at home.
The PS gave me a new binder today, mine was falling apart. Yes, I am 7 weeks and STILL in a binder....luckily, it really isn't uncomfortable, just hard to wear normal clothes in it.
My tummy is getting a great shape to it. I have very minimal swelling, except at the incision line. Looking forward to the day when I can just get up and get dressed without thinking about my incision or the binder.

I am now 6 weeks post op. I feel great. I am still dealing with packing the hole in my incision, but I can see it is finally closing up on the inside. I go to the doctor next wednesday and get the stitches removed from the 2 places he re-opened on my incision. I am still under pretty strict restrictions - lifting no more than 5 pounds, off work and limited activity.
My weight is stable at 159-162. I have been at this weight for 4 weeks. I haven't done any exercise except for walking 2 days when I was released for one week. I feel like I am losing all of my muscle tone. I so hope everything looks good and he releases me (again) for normal, light activity next Wednesday.
The incision issues have really slowed my recovery down, but I will catch up! Also, I have had minimal swelling, maybe because of my lack of activity. My waist is down 4 inches from pre-surgery and I had NO lipo! So, that is pretty exciting for me :)
