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.

During my yearly physical, my doctor noted that my diastasis recti was severe and told me that it was probably affecting me in more ways than I knew. She recommended that I get a consultation for repair. The PS measured the diastasis as 4" and told me that I have a hernia as well. For financial reasons, I will have a general surgeon fix the hernia (covered by insurance), and the PS do the diastasis repair and tummy tuck (not covered by insurance) at the same time. I don't have much loose skin and I don't have stretch marks. That is amazing, considering I am only 5' tall and I have had more than one baby weighing in at 9.5 lb. I had my last baby at 44 years of age.

Ten more days! This is how I am preparing...
I have been busy getting ready for my surgery. I have six children ranging in age from 1 -19 living here. That means I have lots of help, but it also means that I have lots to do. I am putting my babies (ages 1 & 3) in daycare for a month. So, I have to go to the doctor and get a health statement, etc. for them. I have made lists for my family that include my morning and evening routine, as well as my weekly chore list. I am fine with them not doing things as I have written them, but I want to give them an idea of what gets done and when, as a guide/reminder.
Yesterday, I finished shopping for my basket of essentials which includes gauze, tape, cough drops, Gas-X, stool softener, acetaminophen, an extra set of binders, and my prescriptions. I also got some Slim Fast and frozen fruit for immediately after the surgery.
I was really proud of myself because yesterday I made 20 meals for the freezer. I have two excellent cookbooks for this: Fix, Freeze, Feast and Don't Worry, Dinner's In The Freezer. I have people assigned to help me, and do the cooking, for the first two weeks. The meals are for after that when I am trying to get back to my normal routine, but may be too tired to make a healthy dinner.
I am attaching two more before photos, sitting down - yuk!
