Are you flying? Are you asking how to get one at the airport? If so, just let them know when you buy your ticket that you would like a wheelchair. When you get to the airport let the person at the desk know and they will get one for you and someone will take you to the gate. It doesn't cost anything.

Would I absolutely need a wheelchair? I'd prefer to walk... But if this is anything like my csection, I won't be able to!!

It's not as bad as a csection . Walking ASAP is really better for you. The gas pain one gets from not walking is horrible! Walking starts the healing process too ;) you'll be just fine!

I'm sorry I guess it depends how big the airport is, distance between terminals & all. Airports are great with providing assistance with wheelchairs when needed.

I'd say most people are just fine without a wheelchair. :) The walking IS good for us after surgery.

I'm asking for a wheelchair, anyway, because I will have to connect through a large airport (I haven't purchased tickets yet; I'm currently stalking the internet to find the best deal until I absolutely can't wait any longer)..probably Dallas/Fort Worth. It's not that I won't be able to walk but it's 1. easier to get through security and I know myself well enough to know I'll be aggravated if I have to stand for long while not feeling well and 2. I can make certain that I will make my connecting flight even if I can't walk very fast.

If I could get a direct flight, I'd probably forego the wheelchair assistance. but I figure it's better to not need it and have it than need it and not be able to get it.

Makes sense! I can only imagine having to think all that through! I'm lucky that I live 2 miles away from my hospital!! I didn't do much walking as in a store & such till about 4 days out. You'll do great!
