Good Morning All! Hope you had good weeks and I will chat with you soon! My weight is up AGAIN....and I have to get the scale moving in the right direction and get it to stay that way and I will!! See ya next week. HW 327 SW 322 LW 155.2 CW 159 Gained 3.8

Wow Lori - you are so tough - and I can tell full of faith. That is wonderful news that it was all able to be taken care of, even if there was small hic-up. I'm praying for your full and speedy recovery! Marilyn

The seroma is on my right hip. It is not visable through my clothes or anything, but it is a strange sensation... like sloshing inside of you! Hopefully it will go away soon. Don't let it deter you! It is no big deal, and I am still 100% glad to have done the LBL! You will be too! I would recommend that you consider NOT have the ab muscles tightened though, or atleast talk to your surgeon about it. In clothes, my stomach looks flat as a pancake and I did not have to suffer through the pain associated with the muscle tightening. I really don't know how the results, especially when the tissue swelling finally goes away, could have really been noticably better than what they are. It was virtually pain free. Just sore and stiff, but not actual pain. Just a thought! Now having the verticle incision would have made a noticable difference in my case, and I still might do that when I have my inner thigh left.

yes please!!!

Thanks Janie!! You sound like you are doing much better. I hope so. The tummy part of my lbl is to include tightening of the stomach muscles. We'll see, I've told them I have Fibromyalsia so my pain lvl is much higher then the average person and they said not to worry they will take care of me. I am so very excited and ready to have it done. If it weren't for needing the time built up I could of had it done early June Oh well it will be well worth the wait. Lol I have to laugh about the boob part. I hope I feel the same way. Of course anything would be better then what's going on now...lol. Anna
