Surgery day.

That sounds great- that you don't have to go through it again!
Wishing you all the best- crazy hormones are a bad thing for your mood and your body!

I'm happy to hear they got all the endo!

Hopefully the pain will recede soon.

Kim..remember..don't be picking up the baby for a few days..at least until your innards are healed.....Just a friendly reminder..I know the temptation.....
Where I live, there's a law about what time in the morning and night you can mow your lawn or hammer etc. A noise ordinance, But the new neighbors across the street did have a LOUD (with DJ) rocking party tonight and nobody complained. I think it was because the music was SO funky and good. I danced alone on the back porch while Logan peed.
Anyhoo..hope you're feeling better. Ginger Ale will help relieve the gas too.

Great to hear you won't need any more surgery. What are PCOS?

Hey girl! I'm so glad you don't have to go through any more surgery!!! That's wonderful news! I'm sorry you've had the post-op nausea though ... did your doctor prescribe you any medication for that to take home? I always insist on having something before I go into surgery and as soon as I am awake! I am emetophobic (fear of vomiting) so they make sure I don't!

I'm sorry about all the pain, but just try and take it easy and it sure get better with each passing day! Tell Pouncer that you really appreciate the extra attention, but could he PLEASE wait on the tummy a few more days?

HUGS,
Kim

Yeah, I've been reading up on side effects.... I can NOT have the weight side effect! I'm already way too heavy thanks to the PCOS and those meds weren't helping because my body doesn't agree with them. Gosh, when I first started out on the glucophage for the PCOS, I lost 20 pounds in one months thanks to the meds. Unfortunately my body reacted badly to the meds and I went off them. All 20 pounds reappeared within a few weeks I hate that people assume you're fat because you are a pig who can't control their portions, etc. I'm sure I could restrain myself more than I do, but if I didn't have the PCOS, I definately would not be in the "women's" clothing department.

I am glad the surgery went well, and that you are on the road to recovery. I feel your pain re the PCOS and weight gain. I was up to 185 pounds at my heaviest (due to PCOS - which was undiagnosed for at least 3 years). Now I am down to 152 and still dropping. (I AM following a very strict calorie-restricted diet, but when I followed the same diet before when I had PCOS I simply did NOT lose any weight). I am hoping to get down to around 132, but I already feel much better.

I also had the surgery done laproscopically through my belly button and 2 other incisions. Try not to put too much strain on the scar tissue - especially the belly button - I was up and about FAR too quickly, and my scar went all thick and red, formed an ugly keloid. I have just (3 weeks ago) had another op to fix up the scar, now I am pampering it whilst it heals. Once the stiches come out, maybe you could look into the scar tape with 3M makes - especially as you will be picking up Cam and NOT following orders to take it easy!!

Glad to hear the surgery was successful and that you won't have to go back for another one. Hope to hear that you are feeling much better each day.
