Re: surgery is coming up and getting nervous

[Guest guest]

Kathy, What your are feeling is totally normal. I felt the same way. It is a

little rough right after surgery, and I've heard it's worse than I c-section.

Everything inside you will be moved around. It hurts more on the inside. The

incision site is really not painful. Coupled with the nausea right after

surgery, it can be a pretty miserable experience, but REMEMBER it is all

worth it in the end. and it is TEMPORARY! By 2 weeks out I was feeling really

good, just a little tired. By 4 weeks out I was on top of the world and

feeling totally normal. Please hang in there. It will be worth it in the end.

I wish you the best of luck and I will keep you in my prayers.
