Well, the thought is that if you can't "crunch" or contract your stomach muscles, you will have difficulty reaching and wiping.  The past two days has shown me nothing different that before surgery (except that I have to be aware of not "crunching" my stomach).  For some people it is a very difficult thing to do....wipe yer backside.  Your stomach hurts a lot after surgery.

Topic: Passed the PAT's But..............
Well I just got back from Barix this evening and I am happy to say that I passed my PAT's and alls a go for my surgery on the 25th of Nov. Only problem is they found gallstones =S The internest said Dr.Pop will probebly take my gallbladder out if he feels it is needed , I don't mind that at all as it saves another surgery in my future but my concern is , can he still do it through laporscopy if he is doing both? I was so worried that my surgery was going to be cancelled when the ultrasound tech told me I had them!! Eekkkk. Oh well, I am just happy I passed all the rest and got the go ahead =)

Hi Jeanette- How exciting, this FRIDAY!  What are you having for your LD ?  Did you lose the 7.5lbs since starting ?   Have you been to any of the coffee groups? B'ville wouldn't be too far from you.

Wishing you well tomorrow!  You'll be fine. I actually LOVE "going under."  I've had two surgeries under anesthesia.  One second you're awake, and I always expect to sort of slowly doze off, but it doesn't work that way. It's just BOOM you're asleep, next thing you know you're waking up.  It's fun, I'm looking forward to it.   (Wierd , I know)

Ok, did I miss it, or why do we need help wiping our butts after surgery, if we didn't before?

You'll do great!  I too am having open surgery on the 17th, DS though.

Can't believe a week from now all of the worries of the surgery will be over and we'll be recovering :)

That's exciting.  My date is the day before Thanksgiving. I was sort of hoping for one "final holiday" dinner, but oh well. Onward, and downward !
