Encouragement Needed Please!
oh, don't feel that way.. I think the first 3 days are the worse, after that it is a breeze... seriously after I went home I didn't need the pain meds. I had alot of gas pains but my dr recommend me to drink prune juice and that helped me poop and gas out, lol. Ask your dr before doing so, everyone is different. Also what did hurt was my back.. the inflation they do.. like a cartoon human balloon, lol. This surgery was the best thing I could have ever done! I am happy to have done it!!!!!!! we are here to help you get through these days.. any questions, we are here, this is your support group <3

Let's Get This Forum Going :)
So you're surgery is coming up soon!!!!! I don't even know but it would be great to visit you during your surgery, unfortunately I work those 3 days in a row! I work at a hospital 12hr shifts. So you said your hospital support groups accepts everyone? even people that weren't operated there? my hospital only accept their patients and no one else, not even guests or support partners! If they do heck! I would love to go with you to a support group if I can! I am so excited for you!!!
