I meant sleevers but the app won't let me change the title

Hahaha, was wondering about that. In my head was thinking there are a few single mums I'd like to 'sleep' with.

Seriously though, do you have any close friends that can be around for you after surgery, even if it is for the first couple days? I know there are people on here who have done fine by themselves.

I am having mine done on May 25th, same day as my sister!
So we are going alone. Not worried, as you can ask for help, if needed.

@minnieme80 you will be fine don't worry if you can tackle motherhood this should be a breeze. Im so proud of you and all mother who doing for themselves and our children. Being a single mother, you do worry about all things rest when necessary and pray for all your worries to be gone and definitely be strong.

God bless and your baby will be so proud of you for making this journey.

I think you should find a support group because you will need some sort of support. Get plenty of rest

TY! Its more preventative measures than just to be skinny for us. Our maternal grandmother passed away at 45, then our mom had hypertension and weight induced type II diabetes when she passed away at 62.
So, we if are literally going to be around for our (future) grandkids and even be able to play with my little ones now - we both have to do something to assist us with being healthy - NOW!
