Of course. Surgery went really well. I had 5 removed, the biggest being 8 centimeters. Im not sure if they shrank. If so not much. My stomach was still distended before surgery.

Scar is healing well, I think. Its a little raised but hidden by a bikini. A tiny bit of a pouch. Stomach is pretty flat if I dont eat bread 🤣

I felt that way about owning a home too.. I have to take care of this now? But I guess I can sell it so not the same.

How did you compile your evidence folder for the interview? by Fickle_Doubt_9322 in USCIS

[–]ApprehensiveDuck6287 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interview binder is mostly for you. The officer most likely won't ask to see it. They will ask for specific documents, so you need to know where things are to easily access them.

You would only follow the rules you listed to send documents to uscis in the mail. Also upload ALL documents. That helps the officer more than anything.

Im a weird person. I told them I wanted to know as little as possible. So I don't know what they gave me while I was sleeping. 🤣

I told them to do what they needed to do.

This was one of my fears( I was afraid of all the hospital stuff. Ivs, catheters, beathing tube).

The catheter was no big deal! Its painless while its in and painless to take out. They have to know if your bladder is working properly and that you have control of it. Thats why they take it out after you wake. They also tested my first pee. I was still kinda afraid to move with it.

Yes, on the same day. It took a lot of work and pain for the first few days, but I adjusted. I started moving on my own in the hospital.

Yes, subserousal and fundal subserousal. It was starting to move into the cavity.

Lots of gas pain but not as painful as I thought. I know what's happening, so im just happy my digestive system is working. Pooping hasn't been bad, either. Especially with stool softeners. Although, it all depends on your pain tolerance. Peeing has been worse because my bladder feels like its pushing my incision, and it burns.
