    Hi girls am 14 days pre TT,MR,HR &b Bladder, Bowel repair. Am feeling grt standing straight & loving the new me. My ps didn't use drains or binders & used glue.( he told me to buy magic knickers which are so comfortable) I think staying in hospital for 5 days really helped (for other op) My stomach is flat & a bit swollen in areas. I did go shopping 7 days post op & never again BIG MISTAKE, in bed 2 days. I'm also watching my salt in take, ( you would be surprised what has salt in!!!!!!!!!) also drinking 3 litres (yes that much) of water per day. No fizzy pop. I've waited toooooooooo long to sabotage myself again. As Betty Wright sings "NO PAIN NO GAIN" Amen. Hope every one is doing as good as me. If not stay focused & listen to your body. WE WILL LOVE OUR SELF & HAVE A FLAT STOMACH FOR SUMMER. I had my op in Birmingham UK. A1 surgeon Dr Stern.

    Hi girls/sister, am back had my op 30th Jan, ( H/R, M/R, T/T, Bowel & Bladder repair), thats right all at the same time. I'm sooooo glad I did it this way. I stayed in hospital 5 days. (Praise God), I'm 13 days post op, doing well ps said he took 6lb of fat off my stomach (thats where I carry all my weight) and boy can you tell the difference. My pain is more down below than the tuck. Am doing really well taking it easy & listening to my body. 1 day I stay in bed other day am downstairs on my recliner. Am loving my look, and also reading & watching my salt intake. It's soooooo surprising how much food have salt in, also I drink 3 litres of water a day, which I feel has helped me with swelling. I had my op in Birmingham UK. Also my Lupus has stayed under control. Pics to follow soon.
