...and I'm pretty nervous. I have an umbilical hernia from the time I shoved a tiny human out of my belly. The first surgeon I spoke to took MONTHS to schedule me a surgery, I even got reprimanded for calling to check up on that whole process. The office call with him consisted of a poke in the belly, followed by the doc telling me I was fat and trying to sell me a weight loss surgery on top of what I needed. When the time finally came, my insurance changed and they couldn't cover me. We found a new surgeon and the guy actually gave me information about what was going on with my body, the surgery and answered all my questions. They called me later that same day and scheduled me for three days later (Almost a full week before the other place had me scheduled)
I'm completely unprepared emotionally. Its been a rollercoaster of "we can/can't/can fix your body" and I'm already exhausted from having a new baby to care for. Now I have to leave my child with a babysitter (my mum) for the first time, and be gone half the day. I'll have to let my husband take care of her and me because she's too big for me to hold after surgery. My heart is broken about not being able to hold my own child, maybe for weeks... and I'm so afraid of hospitals because my family has a history of bad experiences with the horrible health care system we have. AND I CAN'T EVEN STRESS EAT/DRINK. buh.
