Thanks Kerri! I expect to be off work 6 weeks, but I hope I am doing better before then. I am so sore right now, but it is not the intense pain I expected. It was way worse a few days ago. Wendy

Hi, Surgi-mates! I'm coming up on two years of a happier, healthier life, and just wanted to say hello to all of my contemporaries. My diabetes is in remission, my b/p is normal, and my last blood work was entirely normal,with the B12 being slightly elevated. I recently started work at a place where they don't know anything about my surgery or my past weight problems. It is so strange; these people don't talk about their weight, or my weight, or ANYONE'S weight! I feel as if I'm in a different country! I've never worked anywhere that these topics weren't #1!! I went on the Ensenada Cruise last month, I'm training for a big-time walk in July, and then going to the OH convention in Irvine next week. Lotsa fun stuff going on. I hope everyone continues to do well with their surgery recoveries and learning to live with our new tummies. I see that some are getting PS, and I'm so jealous! That will not be on my financial radar, but I'm happy that others are able to get rid of the extra skin. Mine is now enough to cover another person! (I've lost 150#, so that means another whole person, right?!) Thank heavens for 3/4 sleeves! Enjoy your new lives!

Hey Wendy~ So glad that you're back home safe and sound. I have been thinking about ya!!! 15-20 lbs. of skin~ whoa!!! Take it easy... relax. How long is the recovery? Hugs, Kerri

Thanks lisa! It did go well, I posted more details above! Wendy

I am so happy for you Lucy! I have been having trouble too, up until surgery. Boy that anesthesia or pain pills or something puts you off your feed lol!! I havent felt much like eating. I am glad as I wanted to lose a little more anyway. Thank you so much for thinking of me on my big day. Love, Wendy
