Hi Dina

Just found your post. Congratulations on getting a surgery date and preparing yourself for the plunge. The worse thing for me was the abdominal pain from the incision. Dr Braw was my vascular, who is yours? I he made an incision that was 2 inches and they stretched things pretty good and it was painful the first 2 weeks.

You will get a brace when you are in the hospital and should wear it for 6 weeks. I still use mine these days when I go down hill skiing. No bending, twisting or lifting so get prepared for that put things up high.

You will be amazed as to how great you will feel PM me if you have any more questions or if you would like to talk.
