Welcome Home and Welcome to Newpouch!!! Congratulations!! Get your rest and then come back and tell us all about it!!!! Kathy

Welcome home Mel !!!! (and it does get easier .. I wasn't quite a believer myself . but it does .. lol) Hugs, Mo doin' a happier happy Mo post op dance every day

Im usually on the texas board but i saw you had surgery the same day as i did. You must be doing better than me because im having a really hard time. The way I look at it is people must not post what they really feel or noone would ever have this surgery....o well maybe its just me. La Rhonda

LaRhonda, I knew that there would be pain, and believe me while I didnt have screaming pain (I think I have a high threashold for pain), I was seriously uncomfortable. Now 9 days out, I am finally feeling pretty good. I am well past the "OMG who the hell thought this was a good idea" stage, but I haven't quite embraced the "Hell yea, I would do it again in a heart beat" stage yet. I have seen a lot of Marchers post how much pain they are in, or how unhappy they are, as well as the more positive comments. This surgery affects everyone differently. You are only 5 days out, give it more time. Your body has had a major trauma and needs to heal. Hugs, Mo doin' a happier happy Mo post op dance as each day passes

Hi La Rhonda, I said exactly the same thing when I came back to post after surgery! I was saying that I'd kind of wished that Carnie's books and the several others that I'd read had touched more on what it would REALLY be like newly post-op. But then I said, maybe it's better that they didn't? I think I still would have gone through with the surgery, but I think I probably would have been more anxious - and that could have been detrimental. But excellent point. You're not alone in feeling that. -Eve
