SOMAVAC made my recovery so much better. The fact that I didn’t have to strip all the nasty stuff, and that I could change the bag by myself, was so nice. My mom had the bulbs and knew they were a struggle. When she saw I was able to use the SOMAVAC by myself, she said, “you don’t need my help??” and I said, “nope! I just wait for the light!”

I even got all the shirts with the special pockets, and I didn’t have to wear any of it, thank goodness, because it was all ugly anyway! I also think I pulled my drains faster. I had them out at 9 days, when they thought it would be 2 weeks with bulbs.

SOMAVAC made my recovery so fast that I didn’t want to go back to work, I wanted some more time! We were out eating pizza as a family after two days. I would absolutely ask for SOMAVAC again. I love that thing! I just didn’t know until I used it.
