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, but still sore
Just a quick update. Have found that here and there things switch between feeling almost normal back to sore.
My upper abdomen, top of the muscle repair, has been sore this afternoon. Its probably where I feel the most discomfort.. scars generally are not as painful. Its a really weird sensitive sore. It's the same spot which I hurt about a week and a half ago, when I sneezed, and I heard a popping sound! Scared me.
I raised a query about it, via DB, other than an acknowledgement, not yet had any advice on it... Destination Beauty, where are you???
So otherwise things seem to be healing ok. No infections (knock on wood!) As yet. My right arm pit scar still irritating me. It seems to happen when I wear the garments as it cuts across the scar line. I've been trying to find an alternative support locally, but not yet successful. Scar line pulls and I still don't have full range in my arm movement above my head. I guess I need to get massaging them.
I have started to wear tape, on my scars, I read that it helps flatten the scar and reduce stretching the scar... which has already marginally started. I have this feeling I am going to need scar revision on my arms... I suppose while at it I will have to get the right side lifted a little more to match the left... which looks better.
So no spitting stitches as yet, as far as I can tell which I'm glad about, but still expect it's likely to happen.
My scars under my breasts are still tight and pulling, but not as bad as they were, so they are looking slightly less deformed. The changes in the last few days has at least given me hope that the scars will get better and the bottom of my breasts will look more normal and rounded.

Feeling disillusioned
I will be having my surgery later today. I have found the experience here since arriving to be overwhelming. I now understand how difficult the language barrier can really make things hard. There's a part of me not sure even if I want to proceed. I know I should be sure 100% of things but it's kind of like I'm here now... I probably will just continue.
My friend is currently in surgery.
I will write later about all this. Feeling too glum to really go into it all now.
