Jencovi 261 Posted February 25, 2014 That would make it harder. This was my sixth surgery so I felt prepared going in. It's a very safe, short surgery. You will be waking up and looking at your honey in no time! It may not be the just pleasant 2-3 days after, but that passes and you start to feel normal again.

millergirl314 168 Posted February 25, 2014 You'll do great! I had mine done today, so if I can do it ( I was kind of a nervous wreck) you can do it too I wish you a speedy recovery! 1 Jencovi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindseyHeth 44 Posted February 25, 2014 Thank you Millergirl & Jencovi! They estimated 1.5 to 2 hours for surgery, double that if she has to repair a hiatal hernia. I am a Med/Surg RN at the hospital where I am having surgery, so I really know my surgeon and the nurses will be the same ones I work beside every day! That brings me a lot of comfort!

Sboulie 90 Posted February 25, 2014 You'll get these pain meds soon enough! And they are pretty good. I'm partial to the liquid ones, as they work on the pain faster and better. But I do wish for some BMs to happen. Hah. Appt for surgery is the 12th?? It's not my surgery. It's the nutritionist/ psych appointment. Then I'm done with all the requirements. Hopefully that is the day I schedule the surgery!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

*Glitter*In*The*Air* 35 Posted February 25, 2014 They moved my surgery to Thursday instead of Friday. I'm so nervous! Does anyone else have that "What if I die" thought? It's scary! I definitely had that thought. I was worried about leaving my daughter motherless at age 5. But I'm 8 days out and doing great! It's a normal thought. Don't worry, you'll be great! 1 bodie602 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
