I finally have a app.for may 25 2012....im excited and nervous all the same time...im sure this is normal..this is a pre wedding gift from my hubby to be..(aug 11 2012)..anyway i found this site and seen how supportive everybody is,and thought hay i think this site will help the process..i have read alot of storys people have posted and it eases the mind a little,so congrats to all that have had there surgery, and to all that are waiting to have there surgery...we deserve it for all that we do!!!

I am 4 weeks out from my tt. I think both of you will be very happy, when you get over it. I love my results, even though I am still a little sore and can't stand up straight yet, but that's what I paid for, for it to be tight. Lol, I found wearing loose pj's to the hospital and sleeping on the couch propped up was the best way o sleep, and I have a shower chair that I used for the first week. It was not near as bad as I thought it was going to be. Just make sure you take the muscle relaxers and pain killers on time, but the muscle relaxer will be the most help. GOOD LUCk!! To both of you!!

I think from what I see here you should be fine shape for your wedding. I have my tt surg on friday the 13th( yes--of all days!) and my sons college graduation is may 3rd--I MUST be there! If I have to crawl I will but after yet another call to my PS and nurse ( they are gonna hate me!) they assure me it will be no problem for me to be there! I followed the list KImmers gave from home page link ----and added a few of my own--toilet seat riser--my seat is kinda low to start with and from hysterectomy experience it is easier to get down than up! LOL I rented and all electric recliner that will rise to put me in a standing position. again--experience for me that pulling myself out of bed ( even propped on 12 pillows) was hard for me. this time--I will just push the button to recline or stand up. I love it so much I want to keep it---even before the TT. the ladies here are so greaT WITH TIPS AND HINTS AND UN-ENDING SUPPORT--JUST ASK IF YOU HAVE A QUESTION!
