Patient Stories

Here are stories from just a few of the patients that GOPump™ Rapid Recovery System has helped recover from surgery faster and with less pain!

 

Bambi C. Dean, Gurley AL
“The GOPump™ was AWESOME! I did not feel any pain whatsoever in my stomach.”

After two children and two C-sections that left her with excess skin from weight gain, Bambi tried everything she could to get rid of it through a tremendous amount of exercising and watching her diet. When that didn’t work, she elected for a body contouring surgical procedure, which included abdominoplasty, as well as a breast lift and augmentation and liposuction.
Nervous about her procedure initially, Bambi learned about the GOPump™ Rapid Recovery System about four weeks prior to her surgery during a pre-operation appointment.

The results of receiving the GOPump™ after her surgery were clear. “The GOPump™ was AWESOME! I did not feel any pain whatsoever in my stomach which is where the pump was used.” Bambi was up and moving around the next day, thanks to the GOPump™!

“I know several ladies who have had the same type of surgery, and they had a tremendous amount of pain, but did not have the GOPump™,” said Bambi, “They could not believe that I was up and moving around as quickly as I was with the amount of surgical procedures that I had done. I did not have to take my pain medication as long either, and once again this was because of the no pain effect that I experienced from the GOPump™.”

Bambi was thrilled with the results of her procedures and with using the GOPump™ Rapid Recovery System. She has already recommended it to everyone who knows about her surgery and everyone who is interested in having any kind of surgical procedures!

 

Arthur Pickering, Jr., Biloxi MS
“I was able to move around without much pain just 6 hours after surgery.”

As a derrickhand on an oil drilling rig, Arthur couldn’t perform his job without having arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder. After scheduling his procedure, he soon learned about the GOPump™ Rapid Recovery System from his doctor.

Arthur had outpatient surgery and was up and able to move around without much pain just 6 hours after surgery. When asked if he would ever want to have surgery again without a GOPump™, Arthur replied, “No, I don’t believe I would.” He has already recommended it to his friends and family!

Krista Van Bever, Louisville, KY
“I felt no incisional pain whatsoever.”

A registered nurse, living and working in Louisville, KY, Krista had put in hard work, lost a lot of weight and had been thinking about an abdominoplasty for a while. Excited, nervous and scared about her surgical procedure, Krista had scheduled a pre-operative appointment with her surgeon where he shown her the GOPump™ and had explained how it worked. She knew because of the incision size (hip to hip) that she might be pretty sore, but wasn’t sure what to expect with the pain.

After her outpatient procedure, Krista said, “Without the pump, I don’t think I would have been able to move. The pain and tightness in my upper abdomen from the procedure was pretty significant, so without the pump, I would not have been able to move. I felt no incisional pain whatsoever.” She also said she was up and moving that evening! Without the GOPump™, Krista claimed she would have experienced a lot more pain and discomfort.

When asked if she would ever want to have surgery again without a GOPump™, Krista replied, ‘No-absolutely not!”

Charles McAllister, Harrisburg, PA
“Following the surgery, I had no pain and the GOPump™ continued to provide complete pain relief for 5 days.”

The only other surgery Charles, an Army Chief Warrant Officer, had ever had was a tonsillectomy as a child. He knew he needed shoulder surgery and was prepared for weeks of pain following the surgery. After discussing the surgery with friends, Charles spoke to his surgeon about his pain relief options. His surgeon told him about the GOPump™ and the success he’d had with other patients using the GOPump™.

Following the surgery, Charles said, “I had no pain and the GOPump™ continued to provide complete pain relief for 5 days..it was easy and painless to remove.” Charles was up and moving the day following the procedure and claims he is a strong believer in the GOPump™. He has already told many of his friends and co-workers about the GOPump™ and will happily tell anyone about it!
