Ive never had major surgery but have had two children au natural soooooo hope that my pain tolerance is up. For the meds think we will have to crush them or maybe they have ones that dissolve?

VelvetSpank 36 Posted July 29, 2017 Thanks hopefully the excitement keeps the nerves at bay. Was your journey long? I started in april and thankful that everything went as planned. Congrats on your surgery as well-im counting down lolI believe I started in May in Dallas TX then moved to Philadelphia and began all over but really it's only been a little over 2 months. Finding the most suitable doctor and all the required labs were probably the most time consuming. My insurance gave me the green light right away. Will you be required to do a pre op liquid diet? How long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
