- 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.

7 months PO Pics!
7 months PO fleur de lis, MR, and circumferential. Long time no see! New pics!
Here I am 7 months out. It seemed like forever before I would have minimal pain in my abdomen. I had a severe diastasis. Even 7 months later, I still feel like I have to be careful with any abdominal workout because I have that much tightness and pain. I didn't do much of any working out until about 5 months. My PS told me to take it easy for 3-6 months since this was one of the worst he had seen.
About 2 months ago, I made a change in lifestyle to watch what I eat, eat less, and try to exercise more. Still not easy with twin 18 month olds and a 3 year old. But we make it a family occasion. Now that the weather is getting nicer, we go for lots of walks and bike rides almost daily. I do a really good cardio workout at least once a week. It is paying off. I have lost 6 lbs and 10 inches! I still cheat and have those oh so delicious meals with lots of carbs 1-2 times a week, but whatever I am doing seems to be working.
Yup, back at work part-time, too. Things are definitely back to normal. And I feel so much better about myself, minus the deflating boobs, lol! But I will take the saggy deflating boobs over the twin skin any day. And the boobies can be fixed, right?!
For those of you contemplating this surgery, I would say do it! Just do your research on your PS and the facility. It is not risk free so understand the risks versus the benefits. Don't always go with the cheapest. And make sure you have plenty of support!

It has been awhile since I have posted. Life has...
It has been awhile since I have posted. Life has pretty much resumed where I left off. I am working part-time and my kids are sick. But, I sure am happy to hold them and hug them especially tight with all that is happening in our nation.
I am 9 weeks 4 days post op a circumferential with a muscle repair and the fleur de lis. I am doing pretty good! I still have pain with my muscle repair, mostly in the evening. And I still swell like crazy. I feel sooo skinny in the morning when I wake up and then I feel like I have clothes that are 2 sizes too small by the end of the day. So I am still wearing my compression garments. I still have hypertrophic scars but they tend to fade after a couple of years for me. Some day when I have time, I will take pictures.
Hope you all are doing well and Happy Holidays!
P.S. Why can't we delete pictures anymore???
