I'm 5 Days Post-Op!!!I I can't believe it's done - It's been such a whirlwind.
I had so many doubts up to the very last minute - I have no regrets now. It seems like it was all a little easier than I expected. (Thank G-d!)
For the months leading up to my surgery I read everything I could possibly find on the internet and on this site for hours everyday. It really helped me to know what to expect at every turn.
I also can't believe how much everything I did and was told to do before the surgery really mattered. Every Protein powder I tested, every baby utensil I bought, the chap stick I brought to the hospital - each and every thing mattered and helped me come home to this new life.
The only thing that was hard to prepare for is the dramatic change in my life that I felt as soon as I was home from the hospital. It's daunting, but I'm digging deep to handle what this week, and the six 6 weeks in total, and everything thereafter will require.
I can't believe I have a sleeve!!!!!!
