Thank you for sharing this. I was treated back in April of 2015 and it’s been heavy on my heart how many women probably felt the way I did and sometimes still do and I was curious about any foundations or the like being out there. I’v been absent from this forum but intend to be on more actively.

Hi, Hoorayitsamanda. Thanks so much for your encouraging post. I am scheduled for my procedure on May 4th, so your words are particularly helpful to me. Were you scared to use the dilators before you had the procedure? You mention that you couldn’t even wear a small tampon previously without pain and discomfort. I’ve never even been able to insert anything at all. It sounds like you may be a bit braver than I am. Best wishes to you and your husband in your renewed life! Michele

Michele, I know it’s a couple days before but you’ve been on my mind and heart! I’m thinking of you as these next few days may be filled with uncertainty and trepidation. I know that everything is going to be so amazing for you and I promise you will feel like a new person!

This is my absolute favorite song right now and is 100% perfect for us. I have it on repeat all the time.

Hi there!! I’m so glad to hear you’re having the procedure done! I was definitely nervous about using the dilators. I tried tampons on several occasions and they were so uncomfortable that I couldn’t handle it. In the beginning, I was a wreck emotionally but after a while I got to the point where it was less emotional and just frustrating my body wasn’t working right. Dr Pacik and the staff will make you feel so comfortable and will not pressure you to do anything you don’t want to do or can’t — but I promise you will be so proud of yourself for the progress you will make! The #6 will be in you when you wake up and when you realize you’re not only able to have it in but also move it in and out of your body, it will blow your mind. As someone on the other side of the procedure, I promise you have nothing to fear. I’m so happy and proud of you – please let us know how it goes!!

My procedure is coming up on April 1st! I’m very excited, relieved and nervous. 😛

I’m sure that this has been addressed in other areas but what’s in the top 10 items you all think are the best to bring with you for the procedure and after? also, my husband is recovering from foot surgery so a lot of walking isn’t possible but any restaurant or activity suggestions in that area? 🙂
