What do I need to have at the house to make my recovery easier. I am making a last minute visit with my PS. What should I ask. I am freaking out. I am 55 years old with two grown children and have always wanted to get rid of the hanging stuff. I guess I am not a confident about my decision at my age.

Great review?

Two more days - freaking out. I got a raised potty seat that if necessary can double for a shower chair. I have a seat in my shower though and understand that you cannot shower until after the stiches come out anyway. I doubt it will be necessary. Has anyone else JUST HAD their surgery that can share the experience of post op? I am going to spend the night in the hospital.

I am 47 and I believe that this is going to make me a happier person, mom, grandma. I will get back the confidence I have lost over the years. We have given so much to our families and jobs that we forget to take care of ourselves. I am glad you are giving yourself this gift it doesn't matter what our age is. I have mine on the 9th so I will update what works for me and what I needed that I didn't have.

Oh my goodness, I am so nervous I can't eat and I had to take simply sleep last night to get to sleep. I am sooooo happy too.

Oh and Milk of Magnesia, stool softeners, unsalted Saltine crackers, ginger ale, and Gas X were all life savers for me!

Did you get sick? I will definately stock up on these supplies. Thank you.

I'd recommend a shower chair, lots of pillows for sleeping and a dedicated helper for 2 weeks! At least one week. Expect first three to four days to be rough. Gets better every day from there! Good luck! You'll be so happy you have yourself this gift!
