    Thank you, all! I know its hard to believe but it'll get here quicker than you think! I cant believe I'm only 6 hours away from having to be at the hospital! So crazy! Haven't been nervous yet, but I think it's kicking in now. :blink:

    Was the first in surgery today! Spent a decent amt of time in recovery. Only had one issue where the incision in between my ribcage just below my breasts REALLY hurt! But I got painkillers immediately n was instantly relieved. Even took a nap! Lol I'm waiting till 8 to go home. Nurse sees no reason for me to stay over. The discomfort is totally bearable, I am peeing well, can drink liquids n walk (slightly hunched over however).

    Good luck to those that have yet to have their surgeries!!! Thanks for the support!

    It's great to read that it went smoothly for you and that you get to go home! Hope your recovery continues to go well.
