I'm scheduled for surgery on Feb 14, 2014. Yes, Valentine's Day! I'm 5'1", 177 lbs and have had 2 previous c-sections. During this surgery, I will also get rid of an incisional endometriosis from my last c-section that gives me pain each month. Scheduled to have lipo, TT, and Breast Augmentation/BL.

OMG catnthehat so awesome that you are now able to make your hubby's mouth drop hon! :-) That's all I want again too! TFS your journey!
How is your incisional endometriosis since the surgery? I am guessing that caused much pain. How did you ever find out that you had incisional endometriosis? I have never even heard of that, until I just looked it up, from what I understand, most Drs don't even consider that when a patient has discomfort and it often goes UnDx'd! :-(I hope all is well with you now!

Trying to calm the nerves by going through daily routines. Hospital called to give the details for the morning of 14 Feb. Will start packing my stuff since I will be staying overnight at the hospital. My plan is do do some self measurements and post a couple of pictures prior to surgery to help anyone who are in my similar situation.

Yay! Do you know if they'll do Regional or General anesthesia? I'm wondering because I'm having the same procedures done w/ regional. thx :) How exciting for you!

It will be under general anesthesia since it's a complete mommy make-over. From my understanding, the OR will be reserve for 4-5 hours. Not sure if it includes prep time.

I too have endometriosis. I've had two laperoscopies prior to my babies. Didn't realize it could be taken care of during a TT. I guess if a hernia can be worked on, this can too. You're going to feel like a new woman!!! Happy for you =)

Thank you. I have incisional endometriosis ...2% of women develop them after a c section. ...lucky me! The best my Dr. can explain is that it gets really messy after a c section and sometimes uterine lining don't all make it back where it belongs ...I guess I can blame the OB ...lol....it's rare but it happens...I'm proof.
