It is so normal to be scared plus some other feelings may crop up. I cried like a baby my second night in the hospital and at other times wondered if I'd done the right thing. It's okay and normal to have all these feelings...just let them happen and be kind to yourself. You're going to great...and better than ever!

Thank you everyone!! Everything went great!! I was the first one of the day yesterday at 7:30am! I only needed 4 incision instead of the normal 5-7, not really sure why I'll ask doctor when I see him today but it could be because maybe I shrunk my liver to a great size nurse said he wrote in his notes I was one of the easiest and fastest surgerys he ever done, I was only in there for 30 minutes!! And I've had no gas pain just one incision hurt and it hurts in my chest when I swallow liquid because it's still tight, but that's about it. I keep doing laps around the floor since 3 hours after my surgery yesterday and everything I actually just got done doing 8 laps now and it's 5 in the morning by me lol it is going way better than I ever thought I hope you all get as lucky, cause I know I really am!!! I'm swelled up about twice my size lol but I think my incisions look great!post-305092-14819702500062_thumb.jpg
