Hi Everybody!

I came home yesterday! I hate being in the hospital so I begged to come home. Still not sleeping well, I have a hard time staying comfortable for very long in any position. I see my angel Sharon already gave you all an update. She's the best. It's true my doc said my hernia really wasn't that big at all, he said he also put mesh on my stomach walls because they were weak. I have a binder on so I can't tell much yet about the Tummy Tuck but I am told that went well also. I have one drain that will stay in until next Weds. All in all, this wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I mean it is very painful, but nowhere near as much as the WLS. Thank you for all your kind posts and prayers, they worked and I am grateful. hugs Cheryl

Hey Cheryl!!! I'm so glad to see you back on the boards!! You've been on my mind allot. I'm glad to know that it wasn't as bad as you thought. Our minds have a sick way of preparing us for the worst. Take this time to pamper yourself and have postitive thoughts! xo, Dee

Yay!!! So glad to see you back on the boards. I'm very happy to hear your surgery went well and, even though you're not at your most comfy, you're feeling good about everything. You know I have a vested interest in this!! Rest as much as you can, get people to wait on you, and keep talking to us. XOXO Kathy F.
