Worries at two weeks

I'm two weeks out from surgery this Tuesday. I have so many questions and concerns. Like, is it normal to have 11 laparoscopic incisions from this surgery? Does anyone else have this weird bump from surgery? The nurse says it's normal from sitting but it can be very uncomfortable when walking. Is it normal to be afraid to try to eat? I'll be going to mushy goods soon and I'm afraid I'm gonna pop a staple or something.

@@Djmohr Thanks so much for your words. Yes, it's excellent news, I agree. I am glad I made the right choice by stopping the rest of my diabetes meds on my own. I was given an honorary degree by my Surgeon for that move, yesterday. But he did caution me, if my sugars go up, I need to consult someone with a real degree, about resuming any meds. LOL!
