Finally Ladies! There is light at the end of the tunnel.

I did forget to mention. My surgery was on 12/27/18. I’m 10 days out and feel fine. No pain at all. Taking things day by day. Trying not to feel discouraged or depressed. This surgery is a lot mentally and physically.

As like most of the stories here. I’ve had this poison for years. I really didn’t want to do a review but here goes. My story might help someone else. My surgery time was changed to a later time due to some last minute office things. It was scheduled at 3:15. Which I really dislike late surgeries. But onto the details. Thank God I woke up after surgery because I was terrified about that but I woke up and felt fine. I hadn’t eaten or drink anything in over 24 hours. Pain was minimal at best. I was released from the surgery center after recovery and honestly I felt fine. BIG MISTAKE. Once I got home my friend was gonna come around to help me out the car but I thought I was ok to stand on my own. (I sat side ways from the surgery center). But anyway I started feeling hot and lightheaded. I collapsed not once but twice. Ambulance was called out to my home twice. The first time they didn’t take me because they said my vitals were fine. Second time, my heart was racing and my friend was panicking so I asked to be taken to the ER. Luckily my incision didn’t bust open Thank God. But I checked out as fine. I did speak with my surgeon before I went to the ER and he suggested I take it easy but I was just afraid. After being at the ER for hours I was released. Ladies this surgery is scary but PLEASE get this poison out your body. My surgeon was able to get 90% out. I’m a week out and in absolutely no pain. My drains were taken out after a week. I was feeling weak but as days go by I feel better. I will post pics later. I do have dents and hopefully they will fill in. My scar is thin and at the top. I really just prayed to God for peace and guidance throughout this journey. I will Perdue reconstruction if needed later on. I’m grateful to just have done this. I cried for months about this. My butt had gotten rock hard and very unattractive. I wanted to cancel my surgery so bad but I went ahead with it and glad I did. I feel good to just walk around my home in no pain. I don’t even take the pain pills. Hope my story will help someone :-) There is light at the end of the tunnel.
