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.

Getting there!
I haven't posted any recent pics or given an update in a while. I am still waiting for my Necrosis to finish closing. But my swelling is pretty much resolved and I'm getting around really well. My stomach is still very tight but I can stand and move pretty good. I do a lot of walking but haven't really done any exercising and stretching.
I will post some current nacrosis pics soon.

Necrosis week 7 update
Dr Peterson cleaned out some more dead tissue last week. I have been getting lots of gunk out each time I change my gauze. I don't know if its an illusion or swelling but I think my hole is drastically smaller then it was this morning! I really can't wait for this to be over. I'm still hunched over quite a bit on most days and walking funny on all days. I'm not forcing myself to stand up completely straight or stretching too much because of the Wound.
6 Weeks- Necrosis Update
Dr. Peterson has been so attentive through out this whole process. I am a BIG baby and cry about everything. Still swelling, still sore, working, driving, going to school..... I just want to feel normal again. Maybe some depression going on. I couldn't even imagine exercise right now.
Anyway I'm posting progress pics of my Wound. Dr. P cleaned it out a bit a couple of days ago. It was very gross and stinky. The white/yellow (dead tissue) stuff turns to a liquid and kind of oozes out. The pink hamburgar looking stuff is what I'm aiming for. (New heathy tissue from the inside out.) While it's still oozing he has me packing it loosly 3 times a day with dry guaze. It still freaks me out putting my fingers in there even though there is no sensation.... Ewwww The edges actually hurt though. :(

I went in for a consult a few weeks ago and chose Dr Peterson based on the fact that I felt comfortable with his knowledge, location, credentials, cost, photos and reviews. I have my pre-op next Monday.
