Mike every post I read of yours I am impressed with the way you handle yourself and your choice of words.  You are indeed a great Advocate!  I'm glad you are on the boards with us!

nope nothing yet.i guess there is no program for this

Sure Trish, we can meet for coffee whenever our schedules coincide. Let me know when it might work for you. I can meet during the day depending upon any appointments I may have.

I rrsp'ed to this one. Remembered Wed night at about 6:30. Bummed out that I missed it.

Hi Pegcitygirl

I had the plastic surgery done on Aug 10!  You can check out my original post:

If you put your mouse over my picture, you can see a link that says "latest posts". Click on that and you will see a list of my recent posts. The plastic surgery one is "Full abdominoplasty two weeks ago - so far, so good".  If you click on that title where it appears anywhere, it will take you to the full thread of the original post.

I'm now four weeks out and things are progressing well. I'm feeling mostly back to normal, except for the continuing weird feelings in my abdomen. Sneezing and coughing still aren't very pleasant! 

I still have the bulge I mentioned in the first post and discovered a little more asymmetry in another spot. However, the consent I signed stated this might be a possibility, so I suspect this is the way it will be unless I pay more to have it all fixed. I'm not sure I'm willing to do that, but we will see. I likely couldn't consider anything like that until a year or so out anyway.
