This is a decision that is for you and your
doctor to make. If you decide to have a reversal you will find
the operation and recovery to be very similar to the first. Lots
of walking but generally less hospital and recovery time. I noticed
less pain and better mobility from the beginning. If your doctor
will do this, it is well worth the trouble, but remember it is
not a piece of cake. Prepare yourself for this operation by exercising
and getting your weight to a good level (ask your doctor). Be
as physically fit and as mentally prepared as you can. This makes
the operation easier and the recovery quicker and to some degree
less painful.
Conclusion
Just a few thoughts in conclusion. You have
had a serious operation, listen to your doctor. This is not the
end of the world, but you will have to deal with it. Treat your
recovery seriously and be determined. Whenever you are feeling
badly, think back a week and you won't feel so badly. You don't
have to tough out the pain, that is why your doctor gave you a
prescription. Time and exercise can become your best friends.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, KEEP YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR.
There may be days that a sense of humor is all you have.
Good luck on your speedy recovery and bright
future!
