4 weeks PO. New pics posted. Bring on summer!

Hi gift to me. Looks like your scheduled in Aug! Congrats. I spoke with the nurse when I had a few concerns. She got back to me pretty quickly. He follows you pretty closely, post op. He does take the time during your appointments to answer your questions. I was a little disapointed with the pre-op appt because he did not give any post op instructions or handouts. Maybe it has changed because I called and let them know that I was dissapointed that they were not more thourough. For my pre-op I met with the Dr then he sent me to the surgical coordinator, where I thought, well maybe she will go over everything but she didn't. I had read a lot and felt like I knew what to expect but it would have been nice for the Dr to go over everything. You will need gauze pads, tape, we got some incontinence pads for the first few days, when the drainage was heavy and chair pads to protect the furniture. I started taking stool softners from day 1 and that worked out well. Remeber your protein and vit c for wound healing. Good luck! Keep us posted.

Thank you! Dr. Johnathon Saunders is my Dr. Have you had any consults done yet?

Looking great!

You look great! I have lost about 6lbs down to 129 to 130. I am very happy about that. I hope it stays off. It is so nice not to have a saggy belly full of stretch marks!

Thank you! Yes we have a lot in common :) I don't know about being in better shape. Well you should be all done your surgery. I hope all went well. Can't wait to see pics.
