@shbelter...its normal to be a emotional overwhelmed for any surgery. But again this was the best decision that I ever made for MYSELF. Of course I was nervous also, but I had a double mastectomy like 4 yrs ago and I don't think no other surgery is going to be worse for me than that one. That surgery was to safe my life and once again this surgery was again to safe my life. You will do good and will be relief once you are on our side. Please keep up posted on your recovery and your journey.

Bunch of GENTLE hugs....

You will do great! The advice I could offer - the crummy part gets better quickly and you will transition quickly into healing.

I had my surgery yesterday. Cried all the way into the or. Was

Nervous and scared but excited too. Been getting out of bed with help and walking a few laps. Leak test this morning after 9. Then maybe clear liquids. Mouth and lips are so dry . Glad the or is done. Focusing on everyday getting better. Thanks for all the encouraging words and advise.

Today is my day also, tossed and turned a good part of the night, now it is 4 ish in the am and I am reading and texting. A little nervous, but really ready to get this show on the road. Good luck to everyone and I look forward to responding to the post-op pages. HAPPY SLEEVE DAY!

Happy sleeve day, prayers and wishes of healthy and speedy recovery for you both.

Congratulations!!
