Re: 3 mo since my DS

[Guest guest]

,

Congradulations!!! I am hoping to have DS very soon

and hearing stories like yours is truly an inspiration

for me.I do want to ask though were they able to do

your surgery lap? Im a little concerned about that

because when i went in for my tubal i was told they

couldent do it lap because I have to much tummy fat,im

110 pounds on the heavy side.And how was your recovery

immediatly after surgery?
