I am so very proud of you. I think that your whole transformation is just amazing! What else is new with you? How is the job? Still working there? Go back to the old one? I have not talked to you in so very long. Are you dating anyone yet? I hope so, you so deserve a women who is as wonderful as you are.

Well it was not as bad as I anticipated... I went under knowing it was going to hurt. I woke up in recovery with a nurse waiting to give me ice chips... they let me wake up on my own... I was impressed- I got a heated blanket while waiting to go in... I got my thigh highs and elbow pads and heal pads... Surgery was 5.5 hours.. had my hernia repaired and had abdominal muscles tightened and all the overhang from old belly button down is gone along with the old scar.. I was amazed- no black and blues. two drains and binder home the next day... It has been a little challenging- but It looks great...Even my new make beleive belly button looks better than the old one that was scarred the hernia since the car accident was a huge cantaloupe and it is gone... I even got a little lift in pubic area/ If the PS will give me a copy of my before and after I will post. I am AMAZED..VERY soar do not let me fool you it is not a walk in the park... Allthough today was day 6 post op and I took a lil 30 min walk..exhausted though..I am a wimp with pain and the pain pills are okay..my neck and back hurt more... will keep u posted. one drain supposed to come out on Monday...

Yep, I'm trying to loose these last stubborn 30lbs and have a deadline since my PS is scheduled for 5/12/08. I also joined a gym and sofar so good!! I've been doing low carb and lots of water and doing okay sofar. I'm also going to do tanning in April so I can be tanned when I have my surgery and atleast have some color for summer since I can't get my scars in the sun! Good luck with yours and hope you have an AMAZING 2008!!

I don't get much on here anymore ... but just had to say that is GREAT news!! I'm really happy for you ... good way to start of the new year!!

Wow you look amazing!!! I'm having my LBL and breast lift on 5/12 and am a little scared since my pain tolerance is really low! Thankfully they will give me a pain pump that I will have for 2-3 days and will need to take back. I'm saving all my demoral and vicadons I have from previous surgeries so I can be drugged out of my mind and hopefully not be in too much pain! Again, you look fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
