God Bless Each Of Your Journeys

Hello Family I just wanted to take the time to thank everyone for all the well wishes and prayers through my time of recovery. I am 6 days post op and doing very well. Today I cleaned my house and have done things I have not done in so long. This is the best I have felt in a long time and can honestly say I could not have done any of this with out your help and encouragement and support. God Bless each of you in your own specific journeys. Rae

Glad that you're feeling good Rae - just PLEASE don't over do it!!!!!!! You worry me with the house cleaning and such. Take it easy and rest girlfriend, you just had surgery!!! Email me with all your details, I'm so excited to learn how it all went for you since I'll be coming up to the chopping block next. I'm curious to know your before size and after size (once the swelling goes down). Can I expect to go down one size after surgery?? Let me know your thoughts. What part of this was different from what you thought?? Hugs, Laurie

Hey Laurie: I sent you an email....let me know if I can get you some recent photos.. Love ya girl,,, Rae

Hi Rae I am so happy to hear your doing so well. I for one am scared to get the tummy tuck. My doc says i need to do it because of all the skin pulling and hurting my back, but i haven't even tried yet. Now if i could afford to do the neck and arms, i'd have already been there LOL . I too am curious as to how many sizes you've gone down. Hope you have a great weekend! Hugs Linda

Hi Linda I lost 3 sizes. I was a 10/12 down to a 6/8. the eight is a bit snug but that is the swelling in my tummy area. I am happy with the results and I know once all this is healed up and not so ugly, it will be amazing. Good luck dont let any thing stop you from reaching your goal.... Rae

Hey Rae, You are beautiful!!! what a difference. Take it easy, and try not to over do it. By the way, it's time to put up a new picture. You don't look like this anymore. God bless you, Annette

Annette: You are so sweet, I had some recent pics put on my profile today...Take a look and see.. I dont know how to change this posting pic...they seem to take forever and you are right, I dont look like this any more and this was just a few months ago... Funny how we change so much so fast.... You are a good friend...thank you for the encouragement... God bless you and good luck with your journey... Rae

Glad to hear you are doing so well, Rae Ann. You seem like a really neat person! I was excited to see (and I guess I never noticed before) that you and I are practically neighbors! At least as far as some of the other distances I see on the board. I am actually in Fremont every now and again for work. Maybe we could lunch some time. Let's see...I've been to the Sidestreet Cafe, Seasons, the little Chinese Restaurant downtown, and the funny Ma/Pa restaurant over by the railroad tracks. I actually got stuck on the end of town and couldn't get back to work on time cuz I was waiting for the stupid train. Who new? I had to call work to let them know I was gonna be late. How's that for an excuse? lol. Anyways...if you are interested...let me know. And take care as you continue on your healing path. Maria W.

Maria I would love to get to gether with you...Where do you live? how far are you from Fremont or what City do you live in. I am always looking for new friends, seeing i have lost more then I can keep these days. Let me know in an email maybe we can share phone numbers. let me know... Rae
