Waiting to Get my TT - Ohio

okay tomorrow i get my surgery date or am supposed to, i went to two pre-op visits and also went and spoke with the nurse and assistant for about an hour about all my concerns. My main concerns are how much pain I will be in, the swelling, the not being able to stand up straight, of course the horror stories about infection, blood clots etc. I want to do this, have the money but am scared. being on here has helped get rid of some of my fears. I have had a hysterectomy, full, and also had liposuction about 6 years ago, the liposuction was very painful and so was hysterectomy, im thinking this might be the same, but scared pain might be worse. Is one of those things that you think you dont want to live with a belly hanging to your knees, lol, but you also dont want to have problems. I have decided to do it and have been excited one minute and scared the next. I may post photos if no one knows me.

ok i need someone to say something, im anxiously awaitiing call from surgeons office with the date, how long before the swelling goes down and how long before you can stand straight, these are the 2 major things i am concerned about as well as the pain after the surgery, did the pain medication help or are you still in horrible pain? if i get a chance i will post some pics.
