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.

Helllllooooo! its been so crazy the last couple of weeks.... so I spoke too soon. I have been drained 3x since I was on last. Just about every 2 weeks I have been going back in. doc cant believe that I keep coming back. He said this has never happened so many times with someone as thin as me... haha, never been called that, but OK! anyway, he is giving it a little more time, then there is an antibiotic that he caninject into the space to make the tissue sticky and adhere to one another. if that doesnt work< then its back to the OR... grrrr, dont want to do this again!

10 weeks post op...
Ladies, so sorry I haven't updated... Hubby spent a week in the hospital, never had anything done or ever been in before...he was numb on both hands and feet and mouth. Very scary! He is adopted so no medical history. They did every test on him, and couldn't find anything except low white blood count, but couldn't explain why...he is home and back to normal routine, except no drinking for now... Seeing a hematologist to see if they can shed some light... Also 2lyme tests and both neg...
Anyway, Seroma is gone. Swelling is down for the most part, and I am out of the habit of the girdle and binder... The scar in the area where I was drained is thicker under the skin, hopefully that will break down over time. There are still spots on my tummy that are numb, and it seems to be moving around... Feeling SO much more normal!

Almost 8 weeks PO Able to start exercising today....
Almost 8 weeks PO
Able to start exercising today. Starting w Pilates... Doing more research on Internet about my bulge above incision. Anyone know anything about pseudo bursa? I don't think my Seroma is back, no waterbed sloshing... Incision is hard, and there is a bulging above it... It's swollen, but just in that spot, not my whole tummy... I don't know if I'm just being picky, but now going through this, I want perfection... It was flat right after surgery, doc says should be flat again, but now I have started reading again, and pseudo bursa doesn't seem to go away on its own... Grrrr!

So far so good! I can't say enough about my doc and his team! Everyone came in to introduce themselves to me before the surgery. So comforting! Such perfectionists! Love him!
