WORTH IT$9,001
Today is po day 10 and things are going well. I did make one crucial mistake which dealt with having a BM. I knew that I should've been preparing for a painful time if I didn't eat & take the right supplements to ease it out. On Tues which was po day 6 I began what would be a 30 hr struggle to relieve myself. To make a long story short, 2 colace pills, 2 suppositories & loads of fiber rich granola cereal later, I finally went.... And went.... And went..
Please listen to what everyone says & begin stool softener immediately & eat fiber rich foods as soon as you're home. I don't wish that pain on anyone.
On another note, today I'm standing almost straight. My abs are still super tight and they try to pull me down. I can only do a few things then I need to sit down. My back is still bothering but not nearly as bad as a few days ago. Each day things get better !!! Happy healing my fellow TT's!!!

Today is my 1st day pre-op and I feel exactly as I expected. I'm sore but the pain is manageable. Last night was rough. I was unable to pee till 9:30 which was 7 hrs after they had taken out the catheter. When I finally went on my own it was just a few drops. My bladder was so swollen that the pressure made my incision feel like it was ripping open. I'll update more later, right now the pain killers are making me sleepy.

OMG I can't believe that I am reading this history because I feel the same way. Im so scared to die because of this decision. I am going in to surgery on march 22, 2014. Please if you or anyone read this pleaseeee I need some advise in how to be paceful, I am also thinking on going to confession, I am not kidding. I loved reading this history, it sounds as if it was my own history about the nervious I am and all...Pray for me!!!

Hi Fresitasol - I know how scared you are. Kept myself as busy as possible prior to the surgery. When I arrived the morning of the surgery I was trying to have a very low key leaving from my hubby and kids. I was staying as calm as possible as I could especially so my boys wouldn't be scared. The nurses and anesthesiologist knew I was scared so they gave me something to take the edge off before taking me to the OR. Let them know your fears & they'll make you as comfortable as possible. Best of luck to you - ill be following you.

Hi Prepreg thank you so much for the great advise, I will do what you told me, I will let them know how I feel... By the way, my surgery is on march 22 of 2013, hahaha, see how nervous I am that I was thinking that we already were in 2014. So having said that, I just realized that your surgery was just 7 days ago, please let me know how are you feeling...Take care..

I'm sitting in the hospital waiting to be taking back. My stomach is in knots. I hate the hospital gown cause it's too big & my butt's hanging out. I'm just hoping I'm making the right decision. I thought this morning that its not that bad and maybe I should stop wanting to be perfect. I keep coming back to how horrible I feel in a bathing suit & tight tees. All update you all when I'm on the other side. Happy thoughts :) :) :)

Good luck to you! Keep us posted on your journey. I am 9 months post op now and can tell you it is the best decision I ever made! First few days are hard, but it gets easier. I was feeling the same way you were pre-op. totally normal. Good luck!

Hi, omg my back is killing me. Of course I'm questioning my decision. I'm not sad but I'm missing the things that I do every day. It's so good to hear that you're happy that you did it. Everytime I move I think I've pulled or damaged something. I go to the Drs. today so I'll see what he says.

I'm feeling the same not sure this is worth it the swelling for me is the worst ! And just enjoying life in general. I bought the generic icy hot patches for my back and they really helped. Yesterday was the first day I walked straight po day 15. I know in the end this will be worth it but I guess we gotta ride this one out. Yesterday I went to the mall I felt alot better. I think this healing is gonna be alot of mind of matter.

You didn't walk straight till day 15?!? I'm getting so antsy now - I can't imagine having to wait that long. I stopped the heavy meds two nights ago & went on extra strength Tylenol. I haven't taken any though since last night before I went to bed. My husband's back to work tomorrow but my kids do have off. The swelling is horrible. I can be sitting fine then all of a sudden I feel like a stuffed sausage. I want to be back to normal soon
