Good luck with your procedure Thursday keep us posted.....:-)

I'm starting to get a bit nervous about Tuesday. How do you calm your nerves before surgery?

I went and had a massage and just look to your future better health Good Luck everybody with your surgery next week you have a special person watching over you

Btb yes they cut a muscle and some nerves and then stitch it back together' date=' muscle or nerve causes unbearable pain because of the pulling and healing. Friends that have had cesearn sections have told me the same.....OUCH no pain meds work![/quote']

I must have had some strong meds for my last emergency csection and other complicated ab surgeries

I haven't seen my surgeon in like two months funny how its different in many places. I have been talking to his secretary for anythong that ove needed so far but had my pre-op appointment on Friday, everything seemed to go well as I was cleared for surgery. I am super excited and super nervous, just have this wave of emotions going through me right now. I have to be on Clear liquids Monday , don't know what time my surgery is but hopefully its early, I will be waiting for the call Monday afternoon that will let me know. I wish you the best of luck and hope everything goes well.

Wow u don't know? Mine is at 730am and I have to be there at 530.... Have to get kids ready for inlaws and mom is staying at nearby hotel.... I had to know every detail... Type A personality.... And in this uncertainty I felt needed to control at least the little I could... :-) I am hopeful and prayerful it will all go well. I need to be able to work and get back to working out and being active with my little boys and younger hubby ( )

My surgeons Physicians assistant, his nutritionist and his personal assistant call me once a week each to check on me, calm fears with facts, adjust diet as needed and encouragement.... All women... Love it!

I am chuckling! My dear daughter who is working on her masters thesis came home and made me a surgery play list for my iPhone with relaxing/meditative/positive songs. Got up this morning and started it. First song: Andy Grammer's Keep Your Head Up! "Gotta keep your head up.......you'll turn out fine!"

My theme song!

I'm sooooo hungry. Have been on liquid diet since last Tuesday. Surgery is Tuesday the 26th. I went to my Dr here in Lubbock on Thurs, felt like I was coming down with a cold. She gave me a shot of Roseffrin and a script for Keflex. Does not seem to be working. I have to travel 6 hours to Dallas for surgery. I have a little congestion in my bronchial tubes. What should I do?
