My doctor said the binder is included in his fee, which he will provide to me on the day of the surgery (after the surgery)

But my Surgery date is on my daddy birthday March 24th.. Too bad he passed but hell be with me right there in the surgery room and recovery.. i am not to worried about the surgery, I am more worried about my husband with the kids for 2 week at least being Mr. Mom. I;ve lost 50lbs with 2 kids and ready to be me again. Ive always been a mom, getting pregnant at 19 i have no idea who i am.. i think this well help me figuare that out. My ps doesnt havve his patients to wear a binder, but reading all the post everyone says it helps one way or another, eeven tho hes a great dr and i trust him completely. i am going to question it again on my pre op on the 17th. Waitting got to be the hardest thing. and not telling anyone. olny my husband knows. I dont like people judging me so i havent told a soul. Everyone else know i am having urgery but for female isssue. I will be puting up pictures of with i look like now soon.

I had my hubby get a recliner and since we have no room for it he is bring it back. lol we thought it was small enough because it was the smallest recliner we could find. He got it two days after my tt bc getting in and out of bed was so hard. I had to get on my tippy toes to sit on it and I am 5'7 lol. as for things to do to get ready my husband took disinfectant to the house and cleaned everything and bleached everything. That and then getting gatorade and the milk of magnesia was a good help. I was so dizzy and sick feeling that jello and soup was my friend for two days a long with toast. Hope this helps with anything you were wonder about what to do

Food to freeze is a great idea! Also, frozen burgers or chicken patties with lots of buns, maybe a big stew or soup they can eat for a while... Hope you're able to get more pillows, too! Keep us posted on your progress!
