You've certainly got a lot of best wishes to give her - make sure you add mine to the list! Glad it's all over and she's feeling better now.

HI sandi! It wasnt as bad as i expected, I am sore and tired but that is to be exepcted. Make sure you have a pillow or something to hold when you get up or down and cough. The worst thing i had was this morning i started to throw up and that hurt alot. Mostly now i feel suddenly 7 months pregnant from all the fluids and gas. I gained 8 lbs since surgery! But i went shopping today and i am doing well.

Julie - glad you are feeling better! It was so thoughtful of you to send your mom to us to tell us how it went.

Take care of yourself!

Yes they were able to do the lap procedure. I have 4 1 inch incisions that they cover with steri strips intead of stitches. Be prepared for alot of gas and to not be able to lay down flat. It wasnt really as bad as i thought it would be. Just make sure to take the medication they give you as soon as you can have it for the first day at least.
