"Approximately
1 1/2 years ago, I underwent surgery for a hysterectomy.
Suffering sever pain for many days and even weeks to follow,
it was necessary for me to take prescription drugs to help
relieve the pain.
"Just
weeks ago, I underwent a tummy tuck operation. During my
surgery, the doctor discovered a hernia which was also repaired
at the same time. He opted to use ON-Q for pain management.
I was astonished to find that the entire time I was in the
hospital and the following three days (until the ON-Q was
removed), I never experienced any pain whatsoever. I was
able to walk the hospital floors the evening of the surgery.
There were no side effects and there was no need to take
drugs (prescription or over-the-counter). I remained very
alert and did not need to nap during the day, which resulted
in a very restful night's sleep.
"I
am so grateful that my doctor offered me ON-Q. All patients
undergoing painful surgery should have the same opportunity."

"My
experience with ON-Q was incredible. I had a Cesarean delivery
(C-Section) where the ON-Q System was used. I was discharged
from Hoag Hospital 23 hours after my surgery. The nursing
staff was amazed. I was discharged so soon because I was
mobile and had virtually no pain. My recovery was remarkably
easy in comparison to the C-Section I had four years prior
without ON-Q. I remember my first trip away from bed to
be the most painful experience I had ever faced. With ON-Q,
my recovery from my second C-Section was a completely different
experience. The pain was minimal. I was truly able to enjoy
the incredible experience of having a new baby. My OB/GYN
now uses the ON-Q System for all her C-sections because
of my experience. I believe it to be a necessity for anyone
having open surgery."

"After
having my first rotator cuff surgery, I couldn't imagine
going through that unbearable pain again. The doctor informed
me that the other shoulder needed the same repair. It took
me two years to even consider it. I was introduced to ON-Q
at our surgical center where I work as a clinic nurse. Convincing
the doctor was not easy, but he agreed. The recovery was
easy - absolutely pain-free for three days. I felt great
- no side effects as with oral pain meds. Imagine managing
pain in the area of pain, while the rest of the body can
function normally! The physical therapy took half the time
- what a wonderful device! I would recommend it to anyone
who is having major surgery."

"It
was wonderful. I really wasn't even aware I had an incision
because it didn't hurt. There was just no pain. Almost immediately,
I was on my feet and really didn't have any problems at
home going up and down stairs."

"As
a registered Nurse and Manager of a large operating room,
I feel qualified to give a personal reference for ON-Q.
My father recently underwent a 6-vessel bypass at a local
hospital and fortunately had and ON-Q System placed intra-operatively.
Watching my father recover for the first 72 hours was amazing.
He was easily able to breathe and cough post-op. I truly
believe ON-Q helps patients get "over the bump"
and recuperate faster."

"I'm
a healthcare consultant by day and a judo instructor by
night. The ON-Q System helped keep the pain of my hernia
operation to a minimum and it got me back on my feet fast!
It's the best thing since sliced bread."
