Hello, I had surgery with Irving just a week ago.. I think you should drink lots of beets juice that will help & also vitamins.

Everyone takes Blood Builders, to build to their hemo levels. You can order it off amazon. Take it with orange juice.. the orange juice will help to absorb the iron. Take more than one pill a day for a month and take another test to see where your levels are at after that.

ok so I've been having so many different kinds of feelings, now that am getting closer I'm starting to think if am making the right decision (not towards the doctor just the surgery it self, has anyone felt like this? what if am being to vain don't get me wrong I really want to get it done, but just with everything that you see in this world is feel like am being selfish. I just want to be able to feel good and be naked in front of my husband and feel good and not ashamed not that he makes me feel like that but he hasn't seen me fully naked for 3years I just feel so many emotions and want to cry, sorry for the rant

I had one too and never needed it. This recovery is nothing like the csection I had. I remember it hurting to pee so badly after both deliveries (one csection and one vaginal), but peeing after my mommy makeover was not painful at all. At first, you pee very slowly and have to wait and pee a little again and so on, probably just like after your csections.. but there was no pain for me. I'm 7 days post op now.

No problem! Now that I'm 7 days po, and have my drain out, I can honestly say I have no pain. There were some painful moments I had, but my indigestion hurt me the most. I have no pain from my incisions, and peeing and pooping fine, lol. I started taking stool softeners a couple days before coming here and continued taking them after.
