Thank you Suz, I am so over the friend thing. Moving on to concentrating on getting better. I am now wearing my compression garment from makemeheal and it is amazing. 2 of my drains have gone down to about 20 cc's in a 24 hour period and one is at 50. I really believe by Thursday he will be able to remove all three. I am very excited about that. I will be working my way back into work next week just starting with a couple of hours. This weekend I am planning on just taking it easy and relaxing in my chair. I rented a lift chair and it has been a life saver. Anna

Oh, Anna...I'm so sorry about the "friend" issue. It is such a disappointment when people show their true colors and those happen to be ugly ones. But, I am so glad to know that you are feeling better each day. I can only imagine how painful and unusual you must feel. I'm sure that the final results will be more than worth the trouble. And, of course, I am going to send a friend request...I just have to know what I may be in for later on down the line! In the meantime...be good to yourself and take it easy. ~Suz

Topic: RE: Monday Morning Weigh Ins

Hey all, I am really late in posting due to my PS. Here are my stats and don't worry I am not freaking out because I know the gain is from the PS and swelling. It is slowly going down. HW 270 SW 255 LW 142 CW 155 A 13 lb gain due to swelling and all the fluid they pumped into me. My surgeon said that he removed 5lbs. So once all this fluid gets out of my system then I am hoping for 132-135.
