- 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.

Question? Did anyone have a hard time looking at themselves in the mirror?
Since the surgery, it's been hard for me. 4 wks PO. Finally last nt, when I was all alone I actually looked at myself completely...at first I couldn't look at all, then it was just a glance here and there. Has anyone else gone through this? Not sure if I'm scared or just insecure??? Anyone else?
4 + wks post op
I have to say the worst is behind me, I truly believe. The first two wks the pain and uncomfortably was bring me down. I truly believe the lymphatic massages have made a HUGE difference! Until the other day. I did something wrong, thought I ripped something internal or I didn't know what. I couldn't touch my left side, the entire side hurt, but I could also pin pt where the worst of it was...back and forth phone calls as,I couldn't get to the dr...they gave me some Valium and it seems to be getting better, unless the med is really masking it. I finally jumped on the scale! From 179lbs to 134lbs! And they tell me I'm still swollen...so I'm sooooo anxious and excited, don't want to ck it again for another 4 wks. Of course, I'm still sore, swollen, etc....but it does get better everyday. And I know that hard to believe when we have our moments of "why did I do this? I want my old body back" I just want to be comfortable again" but for some sooner than later...and I think that's what makes it so very hard to comprehend...I've always been a quick healer. But this time. It so much...I have to rest for a couple of more wks...and we'll reevaluate then. Until then, keep chin up and keep pushing through this journey...we're not alone. Ox
Swollen ankles, feet & legs
Man, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but we called the Dr today ans asked again about the swelling....they say its normal, but it's actually really uncomfortable. Trying to get a few laps in around the house is really hard. I asked for a larger CG but they said it wasn't necessary...I came close to cutting the slits that I read about and the nurse did say I could do, but that doesn't seem to be the tightest part...anyone with any advice right about now? Thx in advance!
