It has all been said but Nicole that is what we are all here for to support each other not just in the good times but the bad times as well.
You said you are a therapist but before that you are human like the rest of us sweetheart and we are here with broad shoulder for you to rest your vent on.

**hugs**

Hi Nicole,

Vent away!! I do not know you personally, only from what you post here but I have to thank you for your openness and honesty through everything you have gone through.

For someone like me who just had surgery, you are an example of what we hope to be in time.  Telling it like it is allows others to understand and appreciate the challenges that lie ahead. I look forward to reading posts and gathering as much info as possible.  I have learned so much from you and the others, so much more than my own hospital support group.

I am very thankful for this board.  It is a safe, nonjudgemental group of caring people, all in the same boat, covering each others backs.  So have at it and let it all out when you are in a rough patch.  Personally, I love venting-definate stress reducer!

Ah Nicole, I bet crawling out of your skin would be a welcome release, but hey, now that you don't have all that extra skin, crawling back in would be alot harder.

I think it is tougher with plastics....  We didn't have WLS because we "wanted to look hot" we did it for our healthy.  Plastics is much more a vanity issue.  (at least for me) so you feel more like what the hell did I do to myself.

As someone who is in the planning stages, saving money to do pretty much exactly what you just did, I appreciate your honestly about what you are feeling...

Ah Sweetie....I wish I could make it better for you.  I'm glad you feel a little better now that you've released it.  Rant on.....we'll listen.  And hang in there.  It won't be forever....soon you'll be back to your old self.

Rant on! I also love a good ventfest.

Hope it all subsides and gets better very soon. Ir sounds like an enormous PITA.

OMG Nicole,
Gene is saying just about the same as you, except for the period thing of course
And you are back to work already, he is still home with an anticipated date of 2-1-09 to return to work.
The other day he put on a different pair of pants and the swelling was unreal, I was shocked.
Thank you so much for posting this as he thought he was the only one to feel this way.

I'm sorry I am a few days late reading your post Nicole -- it is taking me a little while to catch up after being away, and I sure hope you are feeling a little bit better.  Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and I wish lots of comfort for you very soon!
