Title: Whats it like?
Post by: Sarah_Faith on April 16, 2006, 09:02:02 PM
Just a quick question. I completly realise there is no quick answer for this, but what is post op like?

Id dearly love to be in a position where I could judge myself, but for now I rely upon my friends at Susan's. Can anyonw give me a concise direct answer on what things are like (for you) on the other side?

Hi Sarah

I am not sure exactly what you are asking.  So I will give a general response and if you would like to ask me further questions feel free to direct them to me personally if that would make you more comfortable, and I will answer those that I can. 

Surgery was not a big deal for me, I had surgery on a Monday and drove myself to Church on the following Sunday. The change gives me a feeling of completeness I did not feel before.  Also depending upon the type of surgery you have there may be a good deal of time spent with all of the dilations required, but even that is worth it. I would do it again with out question.
