My surgery is April 21 and I'm getting so nervous and scared!! This 5 day pre op can be somewhat annoying but gotta get it done!!

My doctor only has me doing a one day. I was prepared for a week but so glad it's not. Good luck, you got this! What time is your surgery Tuesday? I've got to be there at 6:30.

I am wishing all of you headed in to surgery the best of luck. Milk this thing. Love your nursers and aides. They are there to help you. It will all go much more happily if you connect with them, talk with them and get to know them the best you can. Tell them how much you appreciate them. They are the midwives of your rebirth. Be VERY grateful.

Time goes by slowly during your recovery. Not all will be pleasant, but it will pass, and the good stuff will show up day by day. The pain is only temporary and manageable. Write a love letter to yourself before you go, so you can read it when you come home.

Be brave and confident and cheerful. This is going to be great! I am already too small for my clothes. It hasn't been even 2 weeks yet. OMG!

I am right there with you Michelle! I have 7.5 hours until I have to be at the hospital. I am not nervous at all and don't feel like I will be, but...you never know! Good luck to you and all others who have surgery this week!

Surgery went good. Got home yesterday & slept all night. Finally got rid of the gas, thought I was gonna kill over with it. Ive not had any pain meds & I'm feeling good. Just trying to get my Fluid in. How is everyone else doing?

[audnmac8 44]

So good to see all went well with everyone!! I've notice I'm spitting up mucus from my chest and sneezing so much junk out!! Hmmm don't know where it came from.
