Good luck with ur surgery. I had mine out 2 years ago, my first surgery ever! I was only at the hospital for like 4 hrs. I was sore for a couple of days, because they go through muscle but everything went great and I am sure it will for you too!

Good luck to you. I had mine out when my daughter was 3 weeks old. It was the BEST thing that I ever did!!! Anywho. I think that the worst part about my surgery was the bloating/gassy feeling. It was uncomfortable for like 1 1/2 days...then things were gravey today :)

Good luck Sara!! I had mine out 6 years ago. I didn't have quite as easy of a recovery as these other ladies, I had alot of pain with coughing, and laughing ect.. for weeks afterwards, but it was much better to get it out than to deal with the attacks. Plus I guess the recovery couldn't have been horrible because 5 weeks after the surgery my last child was concevied, lol!!

thank you to all of you.

I've had 2 c-sections so i think i'll be ok with the "pain" part of the recovery..
(I hope)
my biggest fear is the "lifting" factor, they said i should not lift more than 10 lbs for 2-3 weeks after the surgery..
I have a 3 yr old DD who weighs 31 lbs and an 18 month old DS who weighs 22 lbs... Like how am i going to avoid picking them up etc..

my dr said i'd be off of work for 1-2 weeks
