One week out...a bit long!!

Michael-
Like I said to you on Saturday, I was so impressed that you were out and about on Saturday- and looking FABULOUS!!!  Good call on calling the doc this weekend, I agree with the other posters that say better safe than sorry.  Enjoy your time that you get to be home and healing.  It is great to have Mom's around, but equally great to care for ourselves!  Looking forward to seeing you soon.

Smart Man calling when U aren't sure- No use in "toughing it out" and making something worse if they can help you right away.  This is a serious surgery you had- Glad it was all ok!

Congrats on the scales going down!  Best wishes for continued healing!

Huggers!

Glad to hear that everything is going so well for you.  Good job on calling the Dr. with your questions and concerns!  I was too hesitant about that and fretted about some things that I probably didn't need to.

Yes, it is a great Monday --and your good news would've brightened any wet, overcast day! Keep up the fantastic work!  It's an amazing ride!  both Dr Benn and FVSD WLS program ROCK!  Take care, Patti 

Sounds like things are going well. You are on your way!

Hey there. Sorry I did not get to chat with you much on Saturday. Sometimes its hard when I have the boy with. Sorry you had a few scares. But, please that you called to get some reassurance that things are going okay. Dr. Benn he is the best isn't he? You are doing a great job thus far!! It is a amazing how time flies.

Wishing you all the best!!
Take care.

You are off to a wonderful start. You have a great upbeat attitude about the whole thing, that will take you far in the long run. Keep it up!

Glad you're updating the group, I'll be watching your progress. Good news the drain came out wihtout incident and it's so reassuring FSH / Dr Benn is so great to work with. Even though I'm going through Dr Pierce I'm expecting the same great support post surgery as you're receiving. And like the others have said, YEA for you for not waiting to call the DR with issues. Continued success, and thanks again for sharing.

You just rock at all this Michael!  I'm proud of you!     So glad all is well and you took care of yourself when things got a liitle strange.   :O)    

 Yeah for you!!!! I am so happy that everything is going so well! And I totally agree... if you feel anything might be wrong CALL! At first when I called this morning about my side ache--I kinda felt like a whiner, but then was like..what am I talking about?  I  need to stay on top of everything!  I would never hesitate to call about anything!

 And as Sandy said,  I hope one day my son will speak kind words about me like you do your mother..how very nice

Take care ,
Natalie
