Please pray for me. Im crying...and nervous. im scared.THIS IS IT. SURGERY AT 6AM

How are you doing?

All will be well...

You will do great! The hardest part of all this for me was making the decision to go that morning. I nervously joked with my husband that we could just skip it and "go to breakfast". Those words tell the whole story of why I had to make that appointment. Congratulations you brave, beautiful woman!!!!!!!

Hope it all went well

I DID IT. IM STILL A BIT OUT OF IT SO PARDON ME IF I MISPELL SOMETHING. IM STILL IN THE WHAT THE HECK DID I DO TO MYSELF STAGE. PLEASE TELL ME IT GETS BETTER FROM HERE. I EXPECTED TO BE MORROW UP AND ALERT WITHOUT PAIN BUT THAT WAS WISHFUL THINKING. THE GAS HAS BEEN HORRIBLE ...THE PAIN FROM BEING SO UNCOMFORTABLE IS SO AGONIZING. I DON'T FEEL LIKE DRINKING OR EATING. IS THIS NORMAL?

Completely normal! I felt the same way and today (now that I am home) I am feeling a lot better!

It gets better. :-) I'm three weeks out and down almost 25 since surgery date. Pain gets better every day. Walk a lot to help with the gas pain. Try eating ice when they let you.

I woke up still in the OR thinking OMFG what did I just do??!?!? That was after having a few break downs in the pre op room. Every day you will notice a small improvement, and it will feel like a huge accomplishment.

Also don't be afraid to use pain meds if it is unbearable. Set a pain goal and work with the nurses to stay under that goal. I set mine at a 4 out if 10. Every four hours they would bring me my pain meds so I could stay ahead of the pain. It is horrible trying to play catch up.

Congrats on surgery!! :-)

Congrats! Yes, everything is completely normal and it gets a lot better every day. Stay strong!
