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.

3 Weeks PO yesterday!- I can't believe 3 weeks...
3 Weeks PO yesterday!-
I can't believe 3 weeks ago they sawed me in half! Ha! I really feel so good I feel it's too good to be true. I know I'm not supposed to but I have been lifting my little guy, mainly using my arms to get him over baby gates and off furniture. I don't feel any pain at all. Today I felt like I was preggo and the baby was moving around inside my tummy. That sensation of an elbow or a knee rolling around is what it felt like weird. My belly button is shrinking . . . yay! And all the scabs have fallen off (gross I know). It looks so much better than the tea cup saucer it looked like after surgery. My incision is slowly flattening out. The "wrinkles" and puckering are smoothing out. I thought that would never happen. I literally thought my skin looked like ruffled fabric up until now. I still have hard knots above my belly button and on the sides I think where he pulled my muscles around to tighten them together.
I am definitely starting to get more attention now from people telling me "wow, you look great! What have you been doing?" I don't want to say I had surgery, but feel guilty for not saying it. It's really no one's business and I have worked VERY hard up until this point after both babies were born. It just amazes me how much of a difference it makes taking off skin and sewing those muscles back together! It makes me very glad I did it.

Day 19 PO- Weird thing . . . today is Saturday...
Day 19 PO-
Weird thing . . . today is Saturday and last Thursday I woke up feeling nauseous. I made it until noon and then had to cancel the rest of my plans that day to lay down. I don't know what caused it exactly. I'm wondering if it was the anesthesia "detoxing" out of my system? I know 2.5 weeks is a long time and most people say it would be out by then, but my body is different in that I have some auto-immune issues. I have an allergy to gluten so any time I eat it, it takes almost a week to detox from my body. I also was tested at a naturopath's office and she said my liver (or kidney) was not detoxing properly. She could tell I still had Tylenol in my body that I had taken a week earlier?! Soooooo, just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar. I also felt a little nauseous today. I'm wondering if I'm doing too much because I feel so good. It's almost too good to be true, you know? And nausea is my body's way of saying "slow down?" I just don't know. I know I am NOT prego though! Ha! I just finished my period last week so THAT'S not it, I'm sure. :)

18 days PO-
I wore my skinny jeans and a fitted T-shirt today for the first time in over 4 years! It felt awesome. :) I took my kids to the park (my mom went to help with my 14 month old) and I went to the mall by myself. My energy is about 80% back and I feel so close to being almost normal again. I want to exercise so bad. I'm ready to start running in this awesome weather. I don't know if it's just my imagination though, but sometimes I feel like I can feel my skin pulling away from my muscles like velcro or a sticker peeling off something. I know. . . gross. But that's what the sensation reminds me of and then I want to make sure I DON'T overdo it. Resting is so hard, but I know I need to in order to make sure I heal properly.
