Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 Oh, how I wish I weren't FAT... ~Shirley in Arcata, CA Pre-op Dr. Welker>>>> Shirley.....you will be asleep LOL I guarantee you wont feel anything, especially if you get an epidural which most of Welkers patients have. I had NO pain for 4 days and after they took it out, I didnt have enough pain for pain meds either.......I did take them though at night to sleep! Im thrilled you have an appt with him next month......!!! I cant wait to see him again myself when we go back over for our check up and he can see the work he did!

Guest guest Posted September 2, 2001 Report Share Posted September 2, 2001 And even without an epidural...you may not have that pain.... ~~* AJ *~~ True, Aj but I wouldnt take that chance as its hard getting me back to a level of comfort after being in pain so long..... Also, the way your surgeon cut you has alot to do with your pain level too.....being cut vertical is much more painful than horizontal in the abdominal area!!
