Having mine out on Monday Morning
Watch this

Hi Everyone, I am getting mine out on Monday, I sure hope it all goes well, I hope I dont have any pain or discomfort.

I am supposed to be there at six forty five for a chest xray, then right to surgery.

They told me they would not know if I will come home that day until they get in there, I have read that walking around really helps the pain from the gas and the surgery so I plan on laying down as little as possible.

I will update you all when I get home, they said if they have to do it the old fashioned way, they will keep me three or four days.

Here is hoping for the best outcome, thank you in advance for any support and prayers.

Cynthia

" Thanks Kezzy, it was so easy, didnt hurt, a little gas but I have had worse headaches, it was nothing. I cant beleive it doesnt hurt at all. It was nothing to be afraid of, I was up walking within an hour of the surgery, I have been fine ever since. I have been walking around and taking care of things, then rest a bit. I already feel so much better, it is hard to believe I had surgery less than a day ago... amazing DR and staff. I didnt even need any pain meds when I woke up, it felt like I did too many ab crunches... even though I havent done those in way too long. good to have it done and behind me.
Dont worry about this surgery, it was a peice of cake "
