I had the VATT procedure done in 2000. Relatively pain free and very quick recovery. I had an almost 3 year old at the time and was pleased that there were no lifting restrictions. The surgeon just said to do what felt OK to me. That would be a plus for you with a little one!

By the way, if I'm not being too nosey, can you share the sex of the baby, if you know it? The due date? We don't have happy things like babies being born on here very often, and I think we should enjoy this process! Are you feeling well--uh, besides the MG?
