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.

Only 6 Days Post Op
I had 5 kids. One pregnancy was twins. 4 c-sections. Had diastasis recti separation after second pregnancy and then two back to back pregnancies. Was not able to fix with exercise, etc. searched for surgeons since 2010. Found dr Burt 2022.
So far so good. First few days painful but manageable following drs orders. Most irritating is one stitch that pulls from drain. Was hoping to have that one taken out at 1st post op appt. didnt get that lucky. So I’ll have to wait until day 7.
Leaked on garment more than I thought I would. Have a back up garnet to change into so you could wash one they give you. Humidifier- man was my throat dry for two days and then I got smart and used it.
I choose to use a zero gravity chair from
My pool deck and covered it with foam and old sheets and towels and out my feet up on a chair. My only issue now day 6 is being able to sit up on. My own. I use a crutch in front of me. If someone holds it for me, I can pull myself up with minimal pain. The rest I can do on my own. I take a lap in my room before I head to the toilet. This way I’m a bit loose and it’s not as hard to squat down. I couldnt sit down on toilet until day 3. I stand up using a cane:crutch.
Still waiting for a BM. Drinking lots of water. Eating fruit, salad, crackers and had a piece of pizza.
Pain management was my husbands job. He made a spread sheet and it’s keeping things on track. I’m not going to try to be some hero and stop the pain meds. I’ll wean off them after my post follow up
Day 7 after they take the 2nd tube out.
Day 1 and 2 I was like- why did I do this … but it does get easier. Today (day 6) I was on the emotional side, but physically feel
Better.
I was on an every 3 hour cycle with meds. The last two nights I opted not to get the 3am muscle relaxer and slept a good 6plus hours.
I thought I’d have time to read and watch Fb but I have done any of that. I’ve had a few visitors and I typically crash when they leave.
