PS~postop success!!!

I am exactly 1week and 2 days post op from my PS. The surgeon removed about 7 lbs of skin from my abdomen. I have a fairly larg incision about 3 inches from my belly button (which is new too). I am very pleased with the outcome so far. I got one of my drains taken out 1 day early cuz I did somthing stupid...But you will have to read my profile to hear what happened...WHAT A JOKE! I have minimal swelling but I am having a lot of pain...Low pain tolerance!!! I walk 2 times a day around the block to prevent me form getting blood clots or other circulatory problems. I now weigh 148 lbs whis is 12 lbs under my Surgeons goal. my goal was 150. I see what people mean when they say PS is addicting...I'm already looking into having my arms done...I have a little rash(woo hoo) so maybe my insurance will cover it too. No problems so far...although i hear from many that Gastric Bypass Patients are more proned to getting a seroma anytime after their PS. I wear my binder 24/7 as tight as a i can...so atleast it won't happen right now. I am also getting a lipo in a box from www.lipoinabox.com Which is a girdle specifically for PS. Check it out. You can even use it to control your loose hanging skin. I can not believe it will be 2 years come December 29th...it has gone by so fast. We should celebrate life everyday and make the month of December a MEMORY in our HONOR. Have a great weekend! Missy~~~whois9dayspostopfromPSandweighs148lbsandanormalBMI
