I had surgery on August 17th. I go for my post-op appt tomorrow. So far so good. It was a struggle at the beginning and of course I had a meltdown and wished I didn't have the surgery, however; a couple of my friends who had the surgery said I would go through that. I am just taking it one day at a time.

I am so glad I found this forum and took people’s advice. I was scared, anxious, sad, confused before and after surgery but I already knew I was going to feel that way. Lol ?

Best advice...
1)stay on top of pain med routines. DO NOT WAIT!!!
2) I made sure to ask for anti nausea meds prior to surgery and after. Has saved my life!!!
3) walking is going to alleviate all the built up gas...so get that ass up and walk lol ?
4)forcing myself to stay on schedule with hydration. Whether it’s water, popsicle, juice, protein water, soup. Honestly, it has helped me a whole lot.
5) my support system. It’s been an emotional rollercoaster but having family and friends that are supportive has really helped. Forget about the judge mental ones. Leave them out of this!

Just wanted to say thank you to all the people that have shared their stories and reached out to me. I am so grateful that this forum exist. It has really given me a place to feel safe!
