Back from Hospital

Hi Gang......Well, I spend my one year in the hospital...Had my TT done... All went well until the second day...Started having blood clotts and Dr. had to go back in to remove them...Then I needed 2 blood transfusions...Please any one planning on have this surgery make sure all your blood work comes out good.....my iron and everything else was all on the low side. Thats what caused all the problems....I am fine now but I sure was scared there for awhile....Still swollen and sore but it will take time to get back to normal. One other thing that made me very happy.....Dr. said he removed about 18 pounds of skin and fat...so after all is said and done I should be done to about 115lbs. Good luck to all who are considering a TT.. Karen 6-30/288/131 should be down to 115 when swelling and water weight is gone.

WOW! so you are feeling good now right! great!!! I went for a consult last month, so now it's just a waiting game..... we'll see. are you healing o.k. ? how's your pain level? Is it very painful?? I think this will be more painful than the surgery will be.. but, well worth it to get this excess skin off. good for you and keep up the great work. Mary

Karen i am happy your okay now,I am set to have my TT 8/26 i hope like you i drop 20 pounds or more,i wont to have more done but i will see how this goes first. good luck Barbara * 6/1/04 337/ 209
