Surgery!!!! QUESTIONS???

[hollysmith0208 0]

:001_smile: Hello,

I am going in this Tuesday for my pre-ops... And to talk to the dietician. I have talked to the surgion about my surgery date, but still had a few questions about what to expect after surgery. How did you feel coming out of surgery, the day after, and the coming days after that. The reason I am asking is, I am thinking about having the surgery on 9/21, but my daughter's birthday is the 25th. I don't know how I will feel by the weekend... If I will feel well enough to have about 12 girls spend the night or not. Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Holly

I wouldn't have wanted that at my hose that short out. Everyone is different with their pain levels and fatigue. But 12 little girls is a lot to take on when 100%. Would you have the option of having 1 or 2 other moms helping out at the sleepover?

ooh, i had a really easy time of it, but no way would i have been able to do a little girls sleepover, no way, You will just have had major surgery, you will need to give yourself time to heal, you will be tired and struggling with drinking your liquids, i wouldn't have tried anything like that, best of luck whatever you decide, could you change the date? either before or after. I think that will be very stressful and you need to rest and heal. Take care jeani

Hey Holly,

I agree with the others. I just had surgery 9/8/10 and although I'm not taking anymore pain meds, I am still tired and weak. In fact my husband has been taking care of the boys and cooking & cleaning. (He took 2wks off to help out) I am able to do some cooking & cleaning, but mostly all him. Is there is someone else that could be in charge of the party & you just help out? Maybe that would be an option?

I agree with the others. If possible, I'd suggest putting off the surgery until after the sleepover.

Or have the sleep over early before you go for surgery.

I would say even the following weekend would be a ton of improvement from day 4 post-op

Thank you all so much for your responses! I will try and postpone the surgery until the next week... I am one of those people that thinks I cand do it ALL... But I am really glad I have the opinion of others that know what to expect! I appreciate you all very much!

Have a great day and I will post again once I have an official surgery date!

Thanks - Holly
