Hi! I just had my tt on tuesday and was petrified. Had horrible panic attacks for about a week before until I actually went into the operating room. I almost backed out actually at the hospital bc I hate being put to sleep... But... Here I am 2 days post op and while I am in moderate pain, I am still glad I did it. I'm really not as in much pain as I thought I would be in. The drains are a bit scary to see but do not hurt at all. Even 2 days out I'm not regretting it. My surgeon and his team were wonderful and I'm doing good! Please let me know if I can help with any questions!
I am 38, too, with a 9 year old stepson, 3 yr old and a 1 year old. My son will be at his moms for about 3 weeks after surgery and I have a sitter coming during the day. I'll let you know how mine goes. I am not worried about the pain, but am worried how I tell the 3 year old I can't carry her
