23 Days for the Surgery

SO EXCITED
Tomorrow I will perform my Lab tests for the surgery clearance. I hope everything is ok. At the same time I'm very nervous. I hope all the money and the pain worth it. I remember the pain of my 2nd c section and it scares me that it could be worst than that. I will need a lot of courage to survive those days.

Tomorrow is my pre-op, can you believe our surgeries are just over 2 weeks!!!! Aaahhh I'm totally in a panic! How are you holding up?

I'm just trying to not think a lot about it and distract with other things like my job etc.. But I know as the day approach I will be very nervous and frightened mostly because of the pain and I hope I get the expected results. How about you?

Looks like we are all on the same journey I have 13 sleeps and counting. I am excited but nervous too! I have had 3 c-sections not sure if it is any more painful. I wonder at times, if people complain how painful it is because they never have had a surgery before? Or have they and it really is that painful. Talking to my friends that are nurses, they said that it should be that bad as PS isn't cutting through the muscle like a c-section. I haven't really told a lot of people as I am worried about what they will say. I have a bad back and this will help prolong the inevitable. I had my pre-op assessment on June 23, payment is in full and just playing the waiting game. Wish it was already here and healing has begun. Good luck again too you! You will be fine, you already know how a c-section feels in regarding the c-section minus taking care of a baby!

Well I had 2 C-sections in the second one it became an emergency due to my boy cord was strangling him. So he squeezed one of my lungs that cut my air and I lost my coincidence bottom line they had switch from a programmed C section to emergency. Due to the urgency they tear the skin and one of my hips is fatter then the other on. Besides I'm patient of fibromyalgia since the 28 yrs. old. My hole back have pinch nerves and spasms. The medications made hard to me to loose weight. I've been doing exercise intense during the last 4 years to keep my weight I do elliptical 70 min 4 times week 7.5 miles each day. But as you can see my abdomen is not improving. I'm tired of going shopping and nothing fits the way it used to when I was younger. You know the pain like I do we have to be strong. To be beautiful we will have to see the stars and all the planets. I'll never regret having those 2 gifts from heaven they are my live and the best had happened to me. We both will be fine and this time we will see our bodies transformation.

I've had two csections, and was up walking hours after. The surgery is completely different. The process of the TT is a heck of a lot more invasive. They suture your abs together, pull down as much skin possible, and cut the fat off. I thought it was going to be a breeze because my csections were. The first 3 days are the worst, but then it gets so much better! Go in expecting pain, I expected the opposite and that bit me in the butt! You can so it. You won't regret it. Just stay on your meds like clock work and pain is manageable!
July 5, 2014
Thank you I will expect a lot of pain and tears.
July 5, 2014
Expect the worse and you might be surprised! The pain gets better in no time. I don't want to scare you out of the process at all. I just wish people were a little more real with me. I expected to Be super woman. And I wasn't. I also have a 3 year old and a 13month old. Not being able to be mommy is pretty hard. So mine could be physical and emotional pain. You'll do great! Stay positive!!

I have no expectation of what my stomach will feel after surgery or my breasts. I just read blogs... PAIN PAIN PAIN for the first 1-5 days, then after that it gets better, that is what I am putting in my head. Take my meds like clock work and hope this will be enough to ward off the PAIN!
July 5, 2014
You'll do great! It gets better before you know it! I had my surgery last Monday and I feel great today! I can't wait to stand up straight! The pain meds help a lot. Do you have zofran? I suggest this to help nausea. I threw up twice and it was the worst pain yet. Zofran was amazing!
