“I’ll just put my mask on and then we can begin the surgical procedure. My patients tell me that the first incision is the worst, but try not to be nervous. I’ve got a brand new scalpel for this procedure, and I’ll press a little harder to cut the nerves in the first pass of the incision, which means it shouldn’t hurt too much for too long… however it is a very serious procedure, so you can expect a lot of discomfort after the initial pain subsides. When the nurse is finished sterilizing your tummy for the incision, she’ll come around and hold your hand, but she’ll need to wear surgical gloves so her hands will feel a little different. Try to relax and be brave, it’ll all be over soon.” -- source link
