I have a 12 yr old a 1 1/2 yr old and a 5 month old and I am looking toward November for my procedure. Is it ridiculous to attempt this with minimal help? I have about two weeks tops that I can request, hire and exhaust all family members before I have to change diapers and make meals. I am an at home mom so returning to work is well returning to childcare etc.. I'm not looking to milk it or baby myself, I'd like to know what I am looking at realistically. I've had a csection and gallbladder surgery this year and I was able to care for my kids 5 days after my csection with a lot of pain, but I can manage pain with painkillers they don't make me loopy or anything. I just don't want my belly to rip open...any thoughts? TIA please excuse typos and grammatical errors I'm typing with one hand and two babies lol
