Hi my name is Carrie, I'm a mother of two 12 and 10. I'm from upstate NY but live in Pittsburgh now by way of DC. Hoping to get some support from others through this journey who have experienced this before.

Welcome, and good luck! Great site with lots of advice and support here.
Hope your surgery goes well! Where in upstate NY? Grew up in the Buffalo area and live in Rochester for a number of years. Great area, miss it everyday.
Hello!!
Welcome to the site. My surgery is also in 2 days and I find myself a bit nervous and second guessing myself...normal I would suppose! I wish you all the best of luck and look forward to seeing your journey.

I was there three weeks ago. You'll be fine. The first couple of days are a little hard but just do what they tell you and you'll be fine. Gigi posted a great blog about her trip with pictures. I thought she described it so well. I'll try to post a link to it for you.

If you've delivered 2 babies, you're going to think this is a walk in the park. It's the easiest surgery I've ever had. I'm 6 days post op and not even taking Tylenol. The worst part for me has been the gas, but this too shall pass.
You've come to the perfect site for information and support. Believe me, we're all rooting for you.
