New here - May 1st surgery date! Yeah!

I am so excited, after what seems forever I got my date set. How long did it take any moms out there to be able to hold/pick up their little ones again? Also, how do I get my pic on here?

Congrats on your date... Im not sure about the lifting on the child I was told not to lift anything heavier than a galon of milk. For 4 weeks, but it varies from Dr to Dr and Place to place. picture on the message boards need to be added by the OH photo team, you can send it to them, along with your user name, user ID# and e-mail addy to [email protected] Hope I helped.

Thanks Dori, I just read your profile, and it sure is rough in the beginning isnt it? Thanks for the info - it does help! Kathryn

Welcome to the board! You are about to enter a very new and excited time. You will have a lot of mixed emothions as the time draws near, just keep your eye on the goal and you will do great. My baby is 20 so I didn't have to pick here up when I got home....LOL. Congratulations on your upcomming date. Take care and God Bless----Toni

Welcome Kathryn! Best wishes on your journey! Diane
