Teresia,
Welcome to the friendliest place on earth for GBS peeps. I see by your stats that we are very similar. I, too, am 47
and our starting weights were very close. If there is any question I can answer please feel free to email me at
pambragg59@cox.net and I will get back to you asap. I am off for the rest of this week on disability but will try and check email at least once during the day when I go back to work. If there is
one thing I can't stress enough is being an open GBS patient myself is to WEAR YOUR BINDER RELIGIOUSLY FOR AT LEAST THE FIRST MONTH. I know this sounds excessive or parnoid but I honestly believe that had I worn mine I would not have gone thru the hell of one hernia repair (about a doz small & 1 large along incision line) surgery at one year out and would not have had the surprise of another large hernia when they did my tummy tuck a month ago. Wear you binder honey, especially if you have it done open. Now I will go back and read all the other advice have been given! I just had to get that out there right away. Best wishes and happy thoughts coming your way. Pam
