spent the day in the E.R. and would not leave until they told me what was going on with me. I am so tired of being sent home sick as when I got there. I got very mean and ugly with them. They said I was having panic attacks....one right after another. Like 24/7 attacks...........And ask me did I have any stress...........freaking please......... wish that doctor could live my day just one day. He put me on 3 exanex (can't spell it) a day. The blue ones. Well today is monday. I couldn't tell you anything I did over the weekend. They knocked my skinny @ss out. My kids told me things I was doing and saying. Don't remember it at all.Thank god my son was driving me around......Don't know how I can do this and work. I want remember what to do. And my b/p is still to very low...........53/48 this morning. pulse rate was 60.......what the hell..........I am just bumbed this morning. Gotta have more and more coffee to make me feel better.............Love yall and hope all is good.................my weight is still hanging between 95-100....................100 if I don't poop........god bless us all. amy

Hey Mo! Good to hear you are fine and feeling good! I am fine too at least I hope I am. I went to the doc on Wed, just to have my girlie once a year exam and cause my blood pressure was still up a little, they did an EKG and it showed something they didn't like. Such as "at one point in your life, you might have had a minor heart attack and didn't know it." or it could be that carrying around all the excess weight I did for years weakened my heart muscle. So just to be sure and all that, I am having a stress echo a week from this monday. I was feeling great till I went to the doctor! But I guess knowing what if anything is wrong, is the right thing to do. Did my support group breakfast yesterday. Thanks to you all for your input, I passed it on to our newbies. We had two new ladies join us, one only 6 weeks out and another who is 5 years out and still a size 4 with a "oops" newborn! Lots in our group are doing plastic surgery now, so I love hearing their stories and seeing the results. However it makes me want it all the more! So, that's it for me, who's next????

Okay.. I'm fine . I feel good. how's everyone else? .. {{{AT least I typed somthin'}}} come on folks... Sue how are you? Tim whats up? Nan where the hell are ya? Channon come out and play! Deb say something cheerful willya? Andra & Peter come up for air!!! and the list goes on .. I miss you all... peace all------------------the -----------------time Mo

Girl, I am waiting with baited breath for the phone to ring from my Plastic's Doc office with some good news'. Like a go-ahead/start date. I'll be happy with the tummy and perhaps some of those perky boobies!!.. take care hon.. peace mo

Hi guys, well I am now 6 days post op. All in all everything has gone VERY smoothly. I have had my pain managed totally so that is a huge plus. My face is swollen up like a basketball, (I look like a white Mike Tyson) but the doc said the swelling has to go somewhere and since I am bound up from chest to knees, it was a likely spot. But it is going down daily. The chemical peel has begun, horrible red splotchy peeling skin all over my face, its yucky. I have had very little pain from the thigh incisions and the belt incision. I am surprised at that. I also have had very little drainage in the tubes. My regular follow up appt is Thursday but he told me to come in today to get the drains out since they are essentially not draining at all now. About 10 cc in 24 hours. Most I ever had was 30cc in 24 hrs. The doctor told me he was very surprised when he cut me open, given my age (50) and the loss of 142 lbs, my tissues are very fibrous, which he said is a good thing, he said I have the insides of a 20 yrs old, go figure. My boobs have begun to stop being painful, they are still hard and sitting up high and sorta under my armpit, but he said that takes a few weeks for them to settle in. Just to keep massaging them. He put in 500cc silicon implants in each side. I almost had a stroke when he told, me because I did not want to be Dollie Parton. But he told me that I wasn't because my breast pockets were 16cm wide and that is what it took to get me a full D. They actually look like a full C to me but time will tell. The worst thing for me is sitting on my butt and having others wait on me, that is killing me. Had sort of a melt down last night and cried for a bit, but I know this too shall pass. My boyfriend is coming to get me today to take me to the doc to have drains removed and I am going back to his house to stay this week and hopefully I will be better able to maneuver around next week. The crotchless girdle is weird, but it's nice to just plop down to pee when necessary. So all in all I am doing great. I just have to force myself not to do much so as to not break any stitches. I won't be able to post again until this Sunday when I get back home, so thanks for all your well wishes and I will take post op pics then to show yall. Luv yall, Sue
