I'm so excited! Surgery is at 7:30am, tomorrow, April 6th. Although I haven't posted a lot on this site, I've been reading so many of your stories and have been so inspired. Can't wait to get to focus on the post-op now! I keep waiting for the nerves to kick in, but nothing yet...just excitement!!!

Good luck.... where are you having your surgery?

Your going to do awesome!!! Make sure you sip your water and walk as much as possible..sip and walk you will recover faster and go home sooner..good luck

Dr. Hoehn is my surgeon and it will be in Overland Park, KS at Heartland Surgery and Specialty Center. They have been amazing so far!

Btw - thanks for the sip and walk advice. I'm really hoping it isn't pain like the kind I had with my first c-section!

I'm a month out so post some feedback! Best wishes.

My surgery is Friday the 8th. I think we can remember sip and walk, sip and walk. Great luck to you----and MEEEEEEEE!

I think something happened and the surgery did not happen. Not sure why exactly.

Thanks gilrs for your concern and sorry it has taken so long to get back on the site.

My new date is May 4th! I'm starting back on my liquid diet tomorrow. The morning of surgery (my original April 6 date) I got there, so excited and not even nervous, to discover that we had a major mix up (miscommunication on our part) and had to walk out without surgery. It was awful but after my 20min. of sulking I was ok and was actually the one holding it together for my husband because he felt so bad. By the end of that day however, everything was figured out and I'm ready to go...again. Strange thing is that although I'm still excited, I don't think I'll really be able to feel it fully until they are actually wheeling back for surgery! I'm pretty sure the worst part will be having to drink the magnesium citrate, expecially since I'm out of town on the 2nd and 3rd for a conference. That should be a fun road trip home from St. Louis...I did already warn my co-workers so they know what is coming. Folks, you will not want to be out on the highway between 4:30pm-7:00pm that day!
