Good luck! You will be fine! Just make sure to ask about anything you may be concerned about. I found my scar placement was important, as well as belly button size & shape! Also make sure to have help when you get home. I found Gas X to be a huge savior in the first week as you are tight & any meals stuff you up & those gas pains can be awful! I also cooked meals & froze them. Keep us updated with your recovery!

Hey, how was your consult. It was nice meeting you.
I got my prescription, so all I have to do is show up on the 6th. They'll give me the time a day before, I hope I get the first spot, bright and earlier. I'll be a nervous wreck if I had to count down the hours.

I had my consult with Dr. Tattlebaum and I was originally scheduled for April 25th. Upon learning that I'm flexible with scheduling the scheduler mentioned that they may be adding Monday, April 2nd as a surgery date to make up for the loss the will have with Good Friday. She asked if I wanted to be on that list. I said sure, thinking I wouldn't really be called. I was called! After much thought, a quick puke from nerves ( not kidding) I've decided it's now or never! My daughter will be on spring break which means less planning to get her to cheerleading, piano etc, and my husband can take 4 days off and have that Friday off as the holiday (Good Friday). I also thought about the warm weather that is quickly approaching and would prefer not wearing the compression garment further into the spring the necessary! Just wanted to post this so I can claim this! No switching! April 2nd it is! I have a million things to do in the meantime. Will post more including pics later! Love all of your stories and support. Any additional tips are always appreciated!

Thanks. I don't have a recliner, but we have this incredibly comfy couch, I think that would do.
2nd sounds like a good date, at this point, I'm thinking the earlier the better.
March 21, 2012
OMG, so you took that date, you do just fine. I'll call you to get more info on how I went after it's done. Mine is meant to be on good Friday, I'm not sure what that means since you mention the date thing. I'll call Pei tomorrow.

I did! I took it just to get it over and done with! They aren't canceling surgeries on Good Friday they added Monday because of some people being off so your still good. Pei got you! Lol!

Typing on my cell phone is so annoying, all the errors, sorry.
Have you picked up your meds?
I'm thinking of drawing up a food table, I'm scared I'll over eat during the down time.

bagsnob i also read on here, someone's ps told her about taking a cleanse two days before surgery how that helps after so that you woundn;t have a lot of gas afterwards. Good luck with your surgery, u must be excited and welcome to TT

VAmum, the food table is an excellent idea! Appetite will be off for awhile I'm sure, but you are right, best to make sure the food you are consuming is healthy. With no exercise I will def stay away from carbs because they are my enemy!


I will pick up my prescriptions on Friday from his office then get them filled. Did he give you any supplements for bruising/swelling to take before surgery?

Thank you Suejohn about the cleanse tip. I can imagine it will be much easier having your system free. Anything that will help prevent additional stress and strain is on my radar!

I go between feeling nervous, anxious and excited! This waiting is horrific! Anyway, I think I'm all set in terms of preparation. Just need to hit the grocery store last minute to stock up and then it's rest and recovery! Good luck to those waiting like me and happy healing to those who have crossed over! Less than a week to go! Need to get my pics up!
