Each day gets easier!!
WORTH IT$6,000
Yesterday I went to see my PS who said I was doing exceptionally well-the nurse took out the drain, snipped some stitches, and gave me a new CG. WOW!! Felt so much better immediately. My first shower was heavenly, and I actually went on a few errands today with me friend. Still have not slept in a bed yet-only my recliner but I know I will get to that very soon...I am somewhat bruised of course very swollen and wear out easily but still SO HAPPY with how this looks. :) IT IS WORTH IT!!!!

This is no easy task, but it'll be worth it!!!
Surgery was on Monday....took 3.5 hours. My Dr did more than we planned but he's the professionl. Came home rested started getting sick switched from Percocet to Loritabt and he changed my nausea meds. Checkup was yesterday everything is looking great drain stay in til Mon. Walker has been helpful, hate sleeping in the recliner!!When the nurse took off the binder I looked down and thought WHO IS THAT?? No overhang of skin!!! Yipee!!! I know it will all be worth it!!!!

Post op appointment is done and now to get ready!
Post Op appt went great last week. I am finishing up things at work tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for Monday morning. It is finally hitting me that I am doing this. I am not worried about the pain-only that I could be disappointed with my results. I am not at my goal weight yet. I have 20 pounds to go and I think the older we get the harder this is!!! I refuse to give in. After I heal it's back to working on achieving this dream!! Any last minute pointers?

Had my surgery Thurs Dec 4, the most essential item I found is my recliner that self lifts, massages and has a lower back heating pad. They are expensive but I found a practically brand new one for $300 us on Craigslist. Also a travel pillow called Comfy Commuter from Amazon. I could not do without these 2 items. Also!!!! Take the colace at least a week in advance and eat very light leading up to sugery. I've had 2 BMs with zero problems. This was one of my biggest concerns because my ps and staff as well as nursing staff at hospital made a big deal about how horrible the first BM was. Whew - was I relieved.
