I have a 4 year old and a one year old and I didn't have any issues taking care of them. They just weren't allowed to jump on me like they usually do for a while. But all in all you should be able to care for them post-op. Just don't recommend pushing yourself because you'll need the rest.

Yeah I've seen a huge decline in mine as well.

I'm 3 months out and I've already had two. One at about a month that lasted 2 weeks and one i am going threw now. It's been about 2 weeks also. I know I'm getting small but it's annoying when the scale doesn't follow lol.

It goes by so fast. Iol, it only feels like yesterday I went under.

good thread.

Congrats. Welcome to the club.

Speaking for myself of course, hope this helps. 1. what exactly does the pain feel like right after surgery? Most of my pain was on my incisions themselves. And I wouldn't call it pain really. It was more like a tightness. Same as with any large cut. I had no internal pain at all. My larger incision was tacked down to my abdominal wall so when ever I tried to sit up or move the wrong way it would pull. But it was more annoying than anything. That eventually released and after that I didn't feel any more pain what so ever. Of course everyone has different pain tolerances, mine happens to be pretty high. 2. Do they let you wear underwear during surgery? I was completely nude under my gown. I was extremely worried about this too. I was insecure about having so many people around me while I was completely naked. But once you put your gown on they gave me blankets that I covered up with the entire time I was awake. To answer you question, No. They told me to take them off. 3. were you have to use the restroom by yourself? I tried to go by myself about 4 hours after my surgery. Bad ideal lol. I made a mess. I recommend a spouse or family member to be there to help you the first time if you are not sure of yourself. I wish I wouldn't have been stubborn lol. 4. Is there a trick to making it less painful when getting up or sitting? I found there was only two ways that I would not be able to feel any discomfort. One was to left my wife pull me up from the couch/recliner and or I would basically roll off the couch and lift myself with my legs and back. After a few days I could gradually get up with no to little pain though. If you take your meds like you should then I don't think the pain is going to be that severe that you will not be able to get up at all.
