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.

My phone hasn't been working to type a whole lot so I saved these on paper and am re-writing them.
I got my last drain out!!! I feel soooo much better- can move around more and am happy to not have them hanging off of me and pulling the drain site (ouch!)
Yesterday my kids and I started "training" for our trip to Disney- our plan is to walk a lot so we (they) can handle all the walking. It's also great motivation for me to start moving more. I have been wearing a Vivofit for a few months now. Before surgery I was usually at a minimum of 10,000 steps without working out. I had worked out before the surgery (Turbofire, Vinyassa Yoga, running 5K's) and never saw any results on my stomach. I would go through cycles- work out like crazy, get depressed about results, quit working out, repeat.
Anyway- prior to the surgery i was a 10K steps. Since the surgery I have been at 6K for the most part and working my way up to 8K. Yesterday (Sunday) during our walk it allowed me to get to 11K. Felt great the whole time!
The following day (monday) I was really really really tired.

I am feeling ok physically. It has been a challenge to be cooped up in the house and not able to drive. I am able to drive now- had to be able to stand up out of a chair, close the car door (couldn't do this for a while b/c it required leaning forward), turn to the right and left, etc. Now that I can drive it helps emotionally.
The other emotional challenge has been my childrens emotions. One is scared of me with the drains. She doesn't say it but her avoidance tells me so... eventually she admitted it. She is my momma's girl so the pain there was hard. My other daughter saw the scar and said in the innocent way kids do- "you traded in your belly for a long scar?" Today at a random moment it all hit me and I cried and cried. I'm hoping they come around eventually.
