Hello RS sisters!!! It has been a while! All is well! Still have swelling by the end of the day. I still haven't slept on my stomach since surgery cause it feels like a pulling in my stomach. I also can't stretch a certain way in bed or it burns on my side! I haven't seen anyone else say anything about it, but I have had tingling nerve stings that are very aggravating!!! Its not as bad as it was 5 months ago, but its still there. I still have mild to no feeling along my scar. When I itch, I stratch, but don't feel it so I just still itch! I've lost 13 lbs and want to lose at least 20 more. I'll update again when I lose them! Hope y'all like my pics!

Yes! I wouldn't even know who to suggest you go to

I'm scheduled for this Dec. I made the appt last week and just got my packet in the mail. I didn't call the office today thinking they would be receiving a lot of calls and trying to make calls. I feel bad for his family bc his death was unexpected.

What about Dr. Song? I was looking at him at one point. Ugh I don't know where to go. Duluth is closer to me, but I was willing to travel for Dr. Cochran. I even booked my hotel over the weekend.

Girl,
I'm sooo sad...just heart broken. He was a great surgeon. I thank God for the chance to meet him. I asked him during my last visit if he knew about realself. He said he'd heard about it. I told him about the Cochran Cuties and Cochran Dolls. He asked which one was I. We had a great laugh...he said he was flattered. I'll miss him. May God rest his soul.

Very very sad. I haven't received a call yet, but didn't want to call today knowing everyone would still be in shock and disbelief. If I don't hear a call by Thursday, I may cal. My surgery is scheduled for Dec. Not sure what to do now. I just booked my hotel over the weekend too.
