Had another hernia surgery this morning. All went well. I went in at 730 and was headed home by 1. It's a little spooky how quick and easy some of these procedures are becoming. I'm taking a couple days off from work, so I'm just hanging out at home catching up on some email and watching dvd's.

God I'm bored, I think I may have traded my food addiction for work now. It's like I'm going through withdrawal today from work.

Anyway I hope everyone is doing well.

I felt that way about my WLS. Three years before me, my friend had the same surgeon, same procedure, same hospital and was in surgery for 3 hours and her scar is a good 6 inches long. 3 years later, I go to her surgeon, same surgery, same hospital and I was in surgery for 1 hour 20 minutes AND my scar is less than 3" long!! At my one month follow up I asked why and he said that he doesn't know why - they don't do anything differently, etc. It even amazes him! As for the incision - he said skin stretches differently - guess my skin was more stretchy. Sorry you're bored, but you're home to recoup - so rest up and take it easy!! Glad you're feeling well.

Hey Peter, I am addictive. too. Break away from food, and I turn to work. Finally, I am learning to enjoy the zen of life - living in the physical moment. Try it this beautiful Fall weekend! So glad your surgeries have gone so well! Does this hernia repair equate to plastic surgery as well? I can't believe that I am jealous of hernias because of the insurance paid plastics

Love your time at home! ff
