Hi Rachel,
yep, my name is kelli. (jean's just my middle name). i was also so
glad to find out that there are women like me going through this same
situation. It would somehow be even worse if there weren't (not that I
would wish this on anyone, of course). For some reason, my post-op
isn't until november 14th. I'm not sure why...I had my lap done at a
huge university teaching hospital though, so maybe they're just too busy
(?). You'll have to let me know what they tell you about your treatment
options. This recovery is not fun at all. I can barely stand up
straight. My doc told me he had patients up mowing the lawn the day
after their lap. Gotta be a lie, right??
