Good luck girl! Do you know I wasn't hardly nervous at all? I think it was because I was so glad to be having the operation in the first place. I hope you do well and heal quickly. When you get up and down, do it fast. If you pause when you're halfway through it, the pain will last longer. And remember to hold the pillow on your stomach when getting up and walking. It helps a lot! I think someone here told me about it.
