That is awesome!! simple pleasures make for such happiness!! I was able to wear a towel completely around my body!! I went shopping today and was able to buy clothes at Ann Taylor (outlet store) I was so happy I almost screamed in the dressing room when size XL fit!!! Great feeling!!

You need to be true to your self and make yourself happy. Don't be a prisoner to the insurance company. As a nurse you give of your self every day to others. Now it is time to GIVE TO YOU!! Follow your heart ...for the new position and the surgery!!! Go for it!!!

I too did not have a pre-op diet. I had many "last meals" Since my surgery was the day after Christmas and I was on a clear liquid diet on Christmas Day. I put white grape juice in a wine glass =-) My surgery went well and I was totally ready, did not feel deprived and did great post op. I feel great and this was the best thing I have EVER done for myself!!!

I too had 3 C-sections with midline incisions ( belly button to pubic bone) they actually made one incision in the scar. It did have soome bleeding for one day but otherwise no problems and smooth sailing. I would not worry!!! Good Luck!!

What you are feeling is normal. I work in medicine and really questioned if I was doing the right thing. Remember other than sites like this, the internet is scewed for negativity. People who had a bad experience in anything want to be heard. Yes things can happen but if you review this site you will see that most of us did great. It is major surgery so having realistic expectations is important. Good Luck to both of you!!! I am sure you will do fine!!
