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.

I am 10 weeks post op now and I love my results. I am still wearing my compression garment. I use a lipo board and corset with my garment to help flatten out my abdomen. I still get twinges of nerve pain but it's tolerable. I have been taking arnica, bromelain, and vitamin E supplements and I use scarguard on my scar.

I am 14 days post op today and I was able to get both of my drains removed today. Those in addition to back pain were like the most annoying things. The drains were placed in my pubic area and one went across my groin area and they were starting to cause throbbing pain and they caused irritation when trying to sleep. So happy to get those out today and be able to finally take ibuprofen for back pain. The Tylenol was not helping the back pain at all. Since the drains have been removed, I am now able to put my post op compression garment on. My appetite has somewhat decreased since the first week but I'm trying to eat higher protein meals when I do eat. I'm drinking plenty of water. My incision is almost completely sealed off. I will start using silicone bandages or Scarguard next week.

I feel a little better today. Migraine finally subsided. That was causing me more pain than the surgery. Still have soreness but it is tolerable. I don't really take anything for pain except when I go to sleep I take Tylenol ES with some Benadryl. It is still hard to sleep on my back because I am normally a stomach/side sleeper. My sister and her dog came to visit me today so it made me feel a little better to have company. Still have buttock soreness when sitting too long. The feeling that my abdominal muscles are clamping tight is not comfortable but I have to walk it off a little bit and it loosens up. I'm really over these drains. Just when I thought the drainage was decreasing and I would be able to get one taken out, the amount increases. Other than that I'm ok. Boredom has set it. Lol. Won't be returning back to work for a few weeks because I'm a nurse and I have to push patients on stretchers.
