I'm at the hospital right now, soon to go into surgery. I saw my doctor yesterday for the first time. He is a cutie, and so sweet. I really liked him alot. His name is Dr. RISHAVY from Duluth MN. I'm so thankful to be getting this done. Let's see if I say that after. I have been living with this messed up stomach since my first child when I was 18. (Battery going dead)

The recovery room was a nightmare, it was the nurse. I wish I had got her name. She 6old Mei was going he after I had already made Lans with doctor and nurses be I was put to sleep to stay. She said there was no room for me. I started crying, then after cried at everything lus the PAIN. To top it off Dr. Rishavay was gone. I saw him before just for him to draw on me standing up with my drawers off mind you then he was rushed out the door. With all that said they did. Find me a room. I'm in pain, right now it's late. Cut hip to hip, right above or on public hair right below belly button. Do not know how much it was. I haven't seen the doctor to ask. I'm aggregated with the way he has treated me, it just isn't right. I've had surgery before, the doctor talked to me directly after. Will share more tomorrow. Good bye

While the nurses were changing my dressings I took some pictures.
Saw my doctor today, first time since surgery. He gave me Lortab 10s to take until see him n the 15th. So happy to see my dog, I missed her. Abby my mini dachshund. My pain is a steady tolerant burn. At times in two separate spots on the sides I have ex stream sharp knife digging pain. I'm super tired. Wish I could lay down. Husband is going to pick up a medical lift chair. Recliner being given to me free, from a Craigslist ad I placed asking for one in the free section. So happy about that. I have two drains still in. Now a lot of fluid today. I'm thrilled with the panniculectomy I got. As long as I'm sitting still the pain isn't bad at all. I have to get used to someone helping me do stuff. Thankful for my husband even if he is a grouch sometimes. Will write more later. Bye

I am not a doctor but I had a panniculectomy back in January. I have never seen staples used or this type of surgery and I did lots of research
