Dr. Song is Great and I'm a Scary Cat. You Will Be in Good Hands!

I had my TT and MR with Dr Song on April 12th and I must say I was a nervous wreck. I was so scared I was literally ready to jump off the table when I laid down for my surgery, however by the time I was about to say forget it. I was awake in the recovery room. When I woke up, I was cold and super emotional. I guess I was just happy I was ok. So, I did pay extra for the esporal. I'm glad I did because I don't recall having much pain. Just super tight and uncomfortable because you cant cough or use your stomach muscles for a while. Then you have to keep dumping the drains, which my hubby did for me. I was only on the pain meds for about three days. Dr. Song was great. I literally have no complaints at all. I do get swelling and had really bad constipation so take stool softeners and wear your garment. The swelling is mostly in the evening and the constipation is going away. I'm also about 5 weeks post-op . I'm from California, so I stayed in Georgia for 9 days before heading back. On the plane ride home I just got up and walked quite a bit, because I was swelling and got someone to wheel me in wheel chair at the airport so I didn't have to walk much. It was really helpful.
