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.

So I am 3 days post op, and I feel better than I did the last two days. I took off my binder yesterday and bandages, and I was pleased with my belly button. I did not look an the scar, but it is low and does not go all the way to my side, just the way I wanted it.
The first few days were tough, but it was more to get up and in bed or chair. Sleeping on my back was another pain point, could not get comfortable. I do walk upright for most of the day, but I also find that I am haunched over when I am getting out of bed for the first time. My appetite is good, but I warn you not to eat a full meal as yet. I did, and last night I had so much heartburn and indigestion. Just was not fun. So keep your meals light. Toast, crackers and yogurt... I try to stay on top of my meds , which helps, so I am never really in pain.
My following up appt is next Wednesday to take my drain out, only have one in, so looking forward to that. I will try to post pic, I was never overweight, I am 5'4" and weigh 125 lbs. I have 2 kids by C-section, and had loose skin. My procedure was to fix my hernia, and a full Tummy tuck. Because I did not have a lot of skin to pull down, I have a vertical incision above my pubic area to close my old belly button. But all this is below my panty line.
Overall, today is better than before... and I look forward in healing quickly and getting back to my normal life.
Speedy healing to all of you, we can get though this, keep the your eyes on the prize - the end product.

My surgery is a 4 days away, and I have not done any of the preparation you all did prior to surgery... No Vitamins, no recliner, no grocery shopping, no nothing. Am I in trouble...What do I really need?
My husband will be around to get me what I need and help with the kids, so that is my plan. Am I in for a rude awakening?
