I'm sorry it's been difficult, but I'm soooo glad to hear from you and to find that things are good. Thanks for sharing so transparently for us in case we ultimately want to do something similar. Maybe you'll find that the anemia, etc. will all be better now that they've addressed the fibroid issue. I sure hope so. God is good and you'll be up and feeling wonderful soon. I know it's a side issue, but congratulations on the weight loss! You'll probably be below goal soon, but please be careful and eat right. We'd rather have you healthy than too thin! We love you! Julie

Hey Wanda, Thanks for asking. I'm here and donig fairly well. I will tell all of you the truth, it isn't a walk in the park. I did have two major surgeries and I don't know which one hurts worse. I'm off all my pain meds except one loratab before bed. I have seen my plastic surgeon 3 times since I was released on the 11th of June and will see my gyn next mon. I'm having a few issues with some tissue below my relocated bb. It will take awhile longer to heal, because it doesn't have as much blood flow. He could not take another centimeter without it dying, so I'll listen to his instructions and hope all turns out well. My plastic surgeon removed 7 lbs of skin and fat. He had no idea that it would be that much. My gyn removed 1 to 2 lbs from the fibroid and uterus. (I'm guessing that, I'll find out for sure Mon) He said my fibroid was the size of a small canteloupe. How in the world do we walk around with those inside and not know it? I didn't loose much blood at all during either surgery. I feel really blessed to be alive. I'm eating like crazy, but loosing weight. Benian said my body is working it's rear off trying to heal. I'm down 15lbs since the 9th. I'm 5lbs from my goal, and still 10 from my surgeon. Thanks again for asking. I'll post more, when it doesn't hurt so much to sit. Debbie

You look absolutely wonderful! Even your feet look smaller! Yeah!!! Wanda
