Help!! I'm a nervous wreck. I keep thinking about the pain and am also worried going under because I have asthma. Anyone else have asthma and anxiety that still went through with it? I feel like I can't breathe. I am causing myself too much stress. I'm trying to stay positive which led me to this site.

Try to relax and not think so much.  I found that over thinking made me nuts.  We will all be thinking about you this week and sending good vibes and happy thoughts.

I'm reading it. You look amazing! I thought I would go to dr Ortega, but then I found a dr I love close to me. Glad to see u are recovering nicely!! Few questions, did u need a toilet riser or walker? When did u start applying the arnica gel?

I didnt need a toilet riser, but I'm also really short. So for a taller person, that may be very helpful. Yes, I definitely needed a walker. It has had multiple purposes! At first I used it to just walk around the house. But now I use to grip and step up on to my step stool, also to grip when I'm getting out of bed. It has been a life saver! I started applying arnica gel around day 10 I think. I could have been applying iy before, but I was drinking arnica tea and taking arnica montana tablets. So I didn't think it was necessary.

Thank you! I'm so happy with my results!! He did a great job! I did get a blister under the surgical tape. I guess that's a frequent occurrence. So I'm treating that, but it's healing nicely. No issues. Good luck on your new adventure. Keep us posted :)

This is my ugly stomach. Got most of my supplies. Need to get a toilet riser and food. A little worried that my asthma is acting up. But hopefully it won't be an issue.
