I got a reduction mammoplasty and used the Bloom43 device prior to surgery. The device was incredibly intuitive, and I was able to “set it and forget it” while relaxing the night before the procedure. The ability to take actionable steps towards the recovery process before the surgery even happened was invaluable— in the weeks leading up to the surgery, I was anxious because I knew there wasn’t much I could do besides wait. Preconditioning with Bloom43 helped me feel like I was getting a jump on the recovery and allowed me to have agency in setting myself up for the best possible outcome. I used the app both before and after the surgery, and particularly enjoyed the checklists of symptoms, self-care actions, wound care, etc.. because there was so much to keep track of with post-op meds, drains, and the like. Every topic was addressed in a straightforward manner, which made having surgery in a more “private” area of the body feel no different than something like an appendectomy or knee replacement. Overall, would recommend Bloom highly to anyone preparing for or recovering from surgery!

I am so grateful to have been recommended this app by my surgeon. All the questions I have been asking myself have answers, and I love the prehab program too which I am currently doing ahead of my surgery.
