Topic: RE: Regretting surgery.
I think most of us have that "OMG what have I done, I shouldn't have done this" feeling shortly after surgery especially when we aren't feeling good yet.
Take your pain meds and follow the docs instructions carefully. It will get better and you'll soon be feeling terrific and wonder why you ever questioned your decision. Just think of how you'll feel when you see that weight start to drop off.
I don't think there's a mother out here that wouldn't have done the same thing and picked up their kid. I'm glad you went to the ER to get checked out. Take it easy and rest so you can heal.

Topic: Regretting surgery.
One thing is for sure. I'm a wimp. I'm still on pain meds. I just spent the entire day at RWH Emergency Room. A place I wouldn't send my worst enemy. Last night I was at my son's graduation. A woman knocked down my 1-year old daughter. Out of instinct, I picked her up. I immediately knew I made a big mistake. I had the most excruciating pain, worse than labor pains and starting vomiting. I spent the night at home in agony and finally went to the ER this morning. They did a cat scan with contrast and said my digestive system looked fine but I had a tear in my abdominal wall and it was bleeding. It's not just last night's incident. I've been really depressed since I got home from the hospital. I've been crying a lot for no reason. Everyone talks about how great they feel, I don't. I have gotten in 60 grams of protein and 64 oz. of water every day. I have taken 2 short walks a day. I still feel lousy and my husband has to go back to work Monday. Please, if any of you experienced this feeling of regret after surgery, please share your story with me.
