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 weeks post op. Had to have a Drainage Heamatoma procedure 5 days ago too
So many reviews on RS have advised that this journey is not for the faint hearted. I reiterate the same message.
Just over a week ago when I went in for my checkup the nurse who had prescribed antibiotics the week before, realised that it wasn't just an infection on my right breast (which has continously bled and seeped), but made a call that it was a hematoma and that I needed to go back into theatre under anaesthetic just to drain it out.
I was not happy with the idea of having to go under again, but had no option. It was the only safe call.
It's been 5 days since that last procedure now and I sincerely hope that I am now well on my way to recovery.
This coming Tuesday will be 5 weeks post my original op and at this rate I just feel like I'm having the slowest healing process ever recorded.
I am hoping for quick and miraculous recovery in the coming week because at some point I have to get back to work.

Still weak but feeling a lot better today.
I'm struggling with my appetite, almost like those first 2 days after the surgery.
I do feel a lot better than yesterday and hope that my tummy will settle today.
As far as I had budgeted, in terms of recovery time, I'm supposed to be able to drive by tomorrow because it'll be two weeks post op on Tuesday.
I feel nowhere near ready to get into my normal routine of getting breakfast and lunches ready and then dropping kids off at school.
Is there anyone else who took longer to recover than the general 2 weeks after TT and BA?

Uphill journey but am hanging in there
Right breast continues to just seep/bleed
I ate shellfish yesterday which for some reason seems to have put me right back at square one.
Pain, bleeding and all sorts I'm going through right now.
Nothing I eat even raw tomatoes seems to be staying in. I don't know if I'll need another antibiotic or what. But I can only speak to my surgeon on Monday. I pray I'll be much better than what I'm feeling by then.
My stomach is upset for days! All I seem to hold down is water, even that not so much.
If I ever had one of those "why did I do this to myself days!". Today is/was one of them.
