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.

4 wks Post Op
I saw my PS this week and he said everything is healing just as it is suppose to. I still have swelling which he said could last for a few months. He did rid me of the binder and told me to wear a compression garment for 12 hrs a day for the next two weeks. Also was told I can finally lift my little ones and then in another two weeks I can start working out again.
I finally am starting to be able to sleep on my side which is awesome since my back is killing me. I am in no pain. The swelling is uncomfortable and sometimes hurts a little but not enough for Tylenol ES. Every so often I get a painful shock but that passes after a second or two and from what I remember from my consult that is the nerves jumpstarting.
My next apointment is in TWO months!

Post Op Day 25
I am 3 wks 3 days post op! I am feeling pretty good. No Real Pain and my drain incision finally closed/healed. I still swell on the hips and a little in the stomach but overall it has gone done a lot. I am still sleeping on an incline which is making my back sore since I am use to sleeping on my side or stomach. I am wearing my binder 24/7 which is starting to scratch my stomach up from the velcro? But overall I am back to "normal" minus the heavy lifting and deep house cleaning. But as far as keeping up with the kids and doing our normal daily routine we are back to normal.
I read a lot about people feeling depressed after surgery and I can say that I have not felt that way. I get frustrated more than anything that I can't lift my babies or clean the house like I normally do. But then I look at myself when I take my binder off and am in SHOCK at how great it looks. And I know that I am almost there ... so I am extremely happy where I am at in the healing process. Everything is looking great.
I have another appointment next week and I am hoping I will get to switch to a compression garment.
