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.

5 weeks post op

I have been back at work for a couple weeks now and am doing great. I will say that I have had to buy mutiple different types of spanx. Depending on what I'm doing, some of them can get uncomfortable. I also had to go out and buy a large last week and now a medium this week. I am also being forced to buy clothes because although I am only 5 weeks post, my clothes are too big. I still have bad days though like today. I have been so swollen I could hardly get around without something hurting. I dont recall doing anything to cause it but we will see tomorrow.

3 week update

On Thursday I had started draining from my incision which was surprising. I went into the office and was told it was just drainage and nothing to worry about. It has since stopped and my incision is looking very good and less red. I go back to work this week and finally feel like I can actually handle it okay now. I feel rather normal now other than swelling.

Drain will be coming out this week

My fluid output in my drain has been less than 20 cc since Friday. I'll call to make my appointment on Monday to get it out finally. Today I noticed less swelling and the bruising is starting to go away. I can see a figure forming instead of a bunch of swelling now.
