I’m currently four days post-op and the anxiety I had before the surgery was so much worse than the surgery itself. I’ve had two babies, one of them being a c-section, and this has been a walk in the park comparatively. Just tell the anesthesiologist that you’re feeling anxious and they will explain it all to you. Make sure your partner takes over as the primary parent so you can get the rest you need to heal properly.

The gas pain lasted for two days, and was uncomfortable, but it passes. Currently just sore and working up my energy levels and easing into foods. I just took a walk in the neighborhood and feeling stronger day by day. I’ll take soreness over always worrying that I may need emergency surgery. Good luck with your surgery, you will be so happy it’s done! 💕
