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
Well tomorrow I will be 3 weeks post op. Can't believe the time. My recovery is a process. The pain, emotions, sleepness night is all worth it. My sides still hurt and the incision has not closed up ????but I'm getting through day by day. Its just need time. I go to the Dr on Friday. My swelling is off the hook, but I'm happy. Can't wait to start working out again. I'm afraid to see how much weight I am. Guess I'll leave that alone. Here are a few pictures of my process
Update
Went to the Dr at pod9 and got 1of the drains removed. So happy. Now the second one will be con on day 12. Can't wait. They pinch my skin like crazy. I'm not in that much pain, but my stomach muscles do hurt in the center. When will all this end. My swelling is crazy. My tummy is not flat at all yet. Ugh, but I keep my binder on 24/7. My scar looks crazy I hate it. Ugh. Just so nasty. When will it every heal up. Here are a few photos

I've been walking around alot. Eating well. Drinking lots of water and power ad. I wear my binder24/7. I miss drinking coffee. I would love a ice coffee today. Should I??
