Something for Me, Long Time Coming

Dr. Poulos and everyone at PSS is so amazing! Honest, genuine, patient, kind - everything! I have felt respected and cared for since I very first stepped in the office. I am so grateful!

I had my surgery on April 9th and have been home recovering.

What a relief! I did not think the drains were bugging me much but out they came and WOOSH! What a relief! Bit of swelling still but I am so, so, so happy! I can feel the muscle repair and hernia are gone/fixed/tight. So grateful! My left upper thigh hurts like crazy from the swelling but that will subside soon enough. Took a pain pill and a nap on my bed for the first rime in a week! Slept 4 hours straight. OMG! i am so elated and happy about my decision.

My honey is so glad the drains are gone. He doesn't do me sick or down very well so I know he's happy I am getting better. Asked how much weight I have lost so far LOL. No idea, and he said he didn't care. Silly men.

I am the mom of three boys (17, 15, 6) and three daughters (20, 18, 13) shared with my husband. They are fiesty, healthy, opinionated and most of the time I love them all. Like many, holding those three boys in and getting them out left my body a mess: pelvic floor pulled, diastasis recti, blah, blah, blah. I never wanted to be "skinny" or anything else, I just don't want to be ashamed of my body.

I am so happy I did this for me.

Still a bit of swelling but oh my! A flat belly. Shut the front door!
