I just had my circumferential lower body lift and umbilical hernia repair on April 13. This has been a relatively pain free process. I don't consider myself at goal either before nor after this surgery. This procedure has been much more uncomfortable than my laporoscopic roux-en-y procedure I had, but not anywhere near the pain level I imagined it would be. During the surgery, they used epidural and general anesthetic. Then kept me wired to an continuous feed epidural for 2 days, and had implanted a localized pain pump in my abdomen, which last for 3 days. Sent me home with the pain pump (which was automatic and allowed for additional bursts of novocaine) and with darvocet. I took the darvocet for 2 days, and then went straight to Tylenol. Now I am taking less tyenol. If you have any questions, please feel free to get in touch. Helen

Congratulations, Virginia.

What a great birthday present! Have a blast in the Keys! (My husband loves his boat, too. What kind is do you have for the Keys? I'll bet the topography - or whatever you call the water's qualities - has its own challenges.) Happy Birthday to You!

Lisa
