Breathe

I know it sounds simple but deep cleansing breaths do wonders when your stressed or nervous... As hard as it seems try to get a good nights sleep, you will have a long day tomorrow.

As far as surgery the most important thing after is to walk as much as you can in the hospital. Walking really helps relieve the pain from the "gasses" pumped into you from surgery.

Good luck and remember, breathe

Oh and welcome Helen

Thank you so much. I am crazy nervous. I know I won't sleep too well tonight but that's ok. How far out are you?

I'm six months, I know sleeping the night before is easier said than done. I actually managed to sleep a bit even though I was freaking out.

The fist few days after the surgery were a little rough for me, but some people go through and feel great right away!

I would have to say it took me about 4 weeks to feel "normal" but at six months? Life's great

Thank you guys so much for the support already! I am praying and sending good vibes out for all! We all really should stay in close touch! The support will be needed I suspect!
