So far I'm ok. Back at the hotel from surgery. I had to schedule my surgery quickly because they had an opening and I had time off of work. I did have to quit smoking and then didn't realize no nicotine at all so had to pull patch off 8 days ago. Dr Abdullah said that would affect healing some and the belly button didn't get saved but to be rid of all that I'm so excited I don't care. I lost 90 pounds and have been fighting with my "mothers apron" to no avail so I've been waiting 4 years to do this. I'll post post op pics when I'm healed. Maybe I'll get a belly button tattoo lol. By the way, I have a cath in for the night and drains and wraps. I highly recommend a maxi dress or flowy dress for comfort, I'll update once a week here. Hope this makes sense I'm loopy on pain meds lol

I took a shower today and that was pretty hard. Boyfriend had to help me and I had a stool to sit on. My back was KILLING ME today from sitting up sleeping. BF just bought a lazy boy on sale for me and WHAT A RELIEF. He's been amazing! I also noticed my ankles are pretty swollen today so I better drink more water. I have a scar up and down from him removing a lot of tissue and an old big ugly scar I had from a splenectomy when I was 11... as well as one at the bottom. Looks pretty bad right now but I know in time it will look a lot better. It is getting harder to sit all day kinda want to move or do something but that's not happening yet.

No. They aren't hurting just swollen. They told me my hands and feet might swell from sitting too long so I'm trying to move a bit more. Got up to go potty a few minutes ago and had to cough... Oh boy. That wasn't fun.
