Hi everyone...

For those of you who expressed concern over the past couple of days, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm home and doing well. Tired, a little sore (just waiting for the local to wear off... then I'll be REALLY sore) and I have a bangin' headache from being so tense this morning, but overall, I'm fine.

For those of you wondering why... I had some minor repairs/revisions to my plastic surgery this morning. The ugly vertical scar on my stomach from the gastric bypass surgery was removed to avoid any unsightly skin folds on my stomach and the two "dog ears" on the ends of my tummy tuck scar were nipped/tucked to smooth out the edges. Like I said above, I'm home and all is well.

Unfortunately I have yet another binder... but this one only has to stay on for a week or so.

Thanks everyone... I appreciate the support.

Mike

Glad to hear it Mike, hope the headache goes away and I'm sure any inconvenience of wearing a binder will be well worth it!

Best wishes, Laureen

Take a moment to remeber how awful it was getting on and wearing a binder after your WLS, and it will make wearing one now seem like a vacation.

Glad you're up and about!

Instead of complaining that the rosebush has thorns, be happy that the thorn bush has roses.
