Thank you, Pam, Gloria, Stacie, Kim & Christina! Your kind and encouraging words are always welcome, and I think this forum has been a great source of inspiration and courage for me to undergo this life-changing surgery.
I am SOOOO glad to be a Post-Op! AFTER I posted this, I discovered that I'm now a "senior member" of the Thinnertimesforum.com site! (It has to do with the number of posts you've written!) One hundred posts - if only I can match that number in pounds lost eventually......
There were some complications during my surgery, so I'm wearing a JP drain as a precaution in case any of the staple/suture sites might leak, but so far, so good. It's a minor pain, but having the stupid thing there will keep me humble and prevent me from overdoing activity, as it's a constant reminder that however good I think I feel, I'm just a few days out of major internal redecorating, and now's a good time to TAKE IT EASY!
I've started my post-op diary on my blog site: you can see it by
clicking here. It's WAY too long to post in the forum, besides, I'm not gonna post everything twice...
