Today is the day! GULP lol
Today is the day I join the loser's bench...surgery in 6 hrs! Nervous, excited, scared, excited lol....wanna get this show on the road! It's been a 3 1/2 year journey with the waitlist...and it feels surreal that it's finally here! I know this IS the best decision for me.
I've got this!

When you're feeling up to it, let us know how you're doing. The first few days can be rough. But very often, they're not. I sailed through the surgery and hospital stay. Beware of buyer's remorse; it's just a passing phase. Good luck.

Happy healing! Sip and walk as much as possible and you'll do well :)

I'mmmmmmm back! All done...surgery went well...having a few "normal" issues. 4 of my incisions are very small but the larger one is slowing me down with the pulling and pain..hard to stand up straight! Mostly I'm trying to get fluids in..rather uncomfortable..only takes a few sips and I have discomfort. I am to get a prescription for Pantaloc and take the pill whole which kinda freaks me out that it will get stuck. Apparently NOT suppose to crush these ones as they are slow release. Anyone else have problems???
