Meet with Dr. Joe 8/24/15 and scheduled surgery immediately after the consultation. All questions answered.
However after reading all of the reviews on real self of others who have had this procedure done by others, I'm starting to get cold feet. At first I was overly excited but now I read "swell hell" "worst pain ever." I know it's surgery and it is very invasive. After having 4 c-sections I kind of have a feeling what it is like for pain, but this is starting to scare me.
I have dreamt of a make over since my first child in 1997 & ever since having diastasis recti.
8 days out from surgery...
I am 4 hours away from the surgery center.
Nervous as ever right now.

My procedure date changed to TODAY!!!
Checked into Centennial Lakes Surgery Center in Edina, MN. Pre op process, marked up in pen, consents signed. So positive and relaxed, this helped so much.
Taken back to surgical suite and given General anesthesia for 3 hours procedure. Woke up in recovery room very alert and very comfortable. Drank water, had snack. Reviewed discharge instructions. Husband taught on care of 2 JP drains, Foley catheter, and restrictions. Mild discomfort prior to getting dressed so took oral pain meds and Zofran ODT.
Husband Drove me to relatives house so we could to stay the night in town for connivence of follow up appt in the morning.
So pleased and comfortable. Not as terrible as anticipated.
Oh my gosh I am so pleased with the results so fat!

Recliner chair and extra pillows for under knees.
Colase as a stool softener, start 2 days before surgery.
Pick up prescription meds prior to surgery.
Take pain meds 1st few night on a schedule.
Do ankle pumps often to prevent blood pooling in legs.
Not as bad as some say so pleased with this
