Totally normal to freak out! But take a moment and breathe. Keep in your mind the reason You chose this path for your life. Everyone is different however I had a great experience after surgery an coming home. I woke right up in recovery and asked to go to my room. I walked within hours of surgery. Slowly but I was up! I'm usually a big baby with pain and I was able to handle it very well. I was fortunate to barely use pain meds while in hospital and after. Mostly used at night to be able to get sleep. Again everyone is different this is just my experience. I was in the hospital for two night and when I went home I was able to be alone. You will do great and this will all be worth it. Good luck!

I had my surgery less than 3 weeks ago. April 29th to be exact. I am back to normal. Push past the soreness and really put an effort into doing what you are suppose to and you will see a huge difference. I wasnt nervous at all but my husband was for me. Now he is so happy i did the surgery. I am back to feeling like the woman he married 10 yrs ago. This is a life changer. You can do it!!!
