Hi Everyone! I came home from hospital last night after having my abdominoplasty on Tuesday. WOW, is all I can say. I was worried about the outcomes etc....well The Doctor went above and beyond my expectations. He took off 17 pounds of fat and skin....I am in amazement! I can already see how flat my tummy is...there is a big void there. I'm in alot of pain, but I keep looking ahead and how it will all be worth it in the end. I am very tolerant of pain and even had open wls but this phewwwww ...as long as time take my meds I am ok, and i feel better than I did yesterday. So..just wanted to give you all an update...someday i will post before after pics..once i get my drains out. I wanted to thank you all for you support and emails! You guys are the best...and also your wishes and you prayers...they all worked! The hardest thing thus far has been hiding out from the boys ...but hopefully tomorrow...I will let them know I am home. God Bless! MaryJo

MaryJo, Glad to know you are home and on your way to recovery. I have heard it is very painful - just keep taking those meds!! Rest and take care of yourself and hopefully you will get to see your boys tomorrow. Just concentrate on you for today. Can't wait to see your before and after pictures - I am sure you will look marvalous! Hugs, Nancy K

Glad you're home and doing ok. Thanks for taking the time and letting us know you're ok. It sounds like you are already VERY happy with the results. I will send you my phone number and will give you a call in a few days, once you catch your breath, to say hello. Take care of yourself and don't let those percs get too farout of your sight. Take care of yourself! All the best, Love, Bob

Hey Bob! My hubby just took a pic today while he was changing my dressing. Click on the link below and hopefully it will work. I am still very swollen but you can tell such a difference already. I took alot of other shots too of me before but I'll wait til i get drains out etc...to take the rest. I am learning something new each day. If they have those nightgowns for men or big big t shirts it makes it much easier when you go to the bathroom. And as far as underwear goes.....where they put the drains, you cant pull your undies all the way up in the front....and for the drains...I had this water bottle holder that goes around your neck and holds your bottle, i got it when i went to disney....but I have it around my neck and have the drains safety pinned to it..it works very well....so attractive....LOL ok...here is the link..... by the way those percocets work wonders....I am trying to go every 4 hours now....it is getting better each day....also make sure you take stool softeners! http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d49/mjorak/tummyb4after.jpg Talk to you soon! Your day will be here before u know it! xoxoxox MaryJo
