A few things I have to say now that I'm off most of the pain meds.

Dr Eric Wiess in Orange Park, FL. is a great Plastic Surgeon. He's worth every penny. The day I had the surgery and was home groggy and feeling like hell his office sent a lovely basket of flowers. They sit right across from my bed so I can see them. They called me up several times to be sure I was alright and that I knew to call them. When there was problems with the new fed rules about Oxycodo-Apap that you can not do refills they got new perscriptions to my hubby right away so he could get them filled.

At any time of night or day they would answer our questions. Just like my RNY doc did. The whole time I have been recovering they have been wonderful. As it turns out the drains need to stay a few days longer. They asked questions I never thought to ask and it was great.

Today they took out the pain pump and the black stitches. Told us how they wanted the pressure band to be worn and what to look for. They also gave us picture of the extra tissue. I know down here they don't use it for burn victims I wish they did. Still from the pic it looks to be around 12 to 15 lbs they took off.

They were happy that I get up and move around every few hours but I don't do any heavy work around the house and that I get out for a little while like at the mall. Over all they had nothing bad to say and everything looks great.

Once the swelling goes down and the site heals I will be able to do some light working out. I can already tell that pressure that had been bothering my back is a lot less. I can move much better and form what I can tell I will have a very nice hourglass figure.

I'll have to get use to the new bellybutton and being able to see all of me with no over lapping. I'll have to get new pants for sure.

Both Robert and Renee' have been great. They are helping me out but also relize that I want to try and do somethings for myself. They make sure I have taken my meds and am not hurting and that I'm drinking enough water and juice.

This had been a great Christmas gift.

I'll post pictures when I'm able. In the mean time I'm doing great and looking for a nice office job. I might see about going to school for a bit. Shopping is going to be fun for sure next month.

Thank you. My daughter helped me pick it out. The flowers I did and all in silk so we can keep them.

Thank you

Thanks

Wed Dec 1st is the day. Have a ton of things to get done. Robert has several days off to help me out. Going to be an early Xmas gift. Wish me luck!

I'm glad you went in. That was the other thing I had thought about after my post. Stones will make you feel like your dying too. Good thing I have not had that problem but I knew folks who did. Just take it easy.

Thanks Heidi! Been a while since I was last here. I remember you talking about your surgeries. Guest it is my turn finally to get the finishing touches too.

So much has happened this year and I have either not had time to post or had lost the password so could not get back on here until I found it. The system was sending to my old now dead email address at the time so no way to up date it. Now it is all fixed so I'm back posting.

The Wedding was June 20th, 2010 on Father's Day. Robert really loved it and we had a great time. There was a ton to do and time went fast. One fun point was his brother decorated up the wrong car so we had a good laugh over that and my poor older daughter had to drive it home.

Check out the pictures in my profile (under photos/ME). I posted a few for you all to see.

Another update is a gift from Robert. December 1st I go in to get my tummy tucked and the extra skin finally off. It will cost us some but I will feel a lot better and beable to work out more. for the past few years after loosing all that weight I have been limited in how I can keep myself toned up. Often either I would bruse the skin badly, have tears or rashes due to the rubbing. I would love to swim more, bike ride without hurting myself and also run.

Also I will beable to get back to working again. Had to leave my job due to my limits and back problems. The doc has had to restrict what I can do. So after this I will once again beable to do a lot more. It will be great. It is such a wonderful gift from Robert.

Anyway we have had a ton going on here. Between the kids, wedding and a tree hitting our house (only damage was the roof and that was replaced) it has been a very busy year.

I'm looking into going to college and seeing about nutrition as my field. In any case I want to give back and help folks so will be looking into the Health field. Still planning on opening a Herbal Health store here in Orange Park, Fl. We think folks will really like it.

Anyway if you are in the Jacksonville, Fl area do please contact me. - Jaz

Thanks we have been really talking and going over stuff to be sure. The fun part is we just fit together so well. Drives the kids crazy. We laugh over it all.

Having just gotten out of the hospital saturday I will tell you both those antibotics I'm alergic to. They both will put me down. Either my joints will swell or my liver will act up and I end up in the hospital critical.

What they finally put me on was Keflex. Before surgery I had some problems with antibotics after I react quickly to those that I'm alergic to. Kidney infections are no laughing matter. If you can't take the pill ask to go to the ER and have it through an iv. Most of my stay in the hospital that is how they did it. - Jaz

Thanks. Robert has been in the medical field for 15 years and I have always been interested in herbs and teas. It's a great way to give back to the community and give us something great to do together for a family business.

Yep I have the day off and took the time to make up some cards for folks. If you IM me in the past 3 months you should have a IM with the link to your card. If you don't and need one please IM me today. I will tonight be doing up cards. -Jaz

By the way those who wrote to me since August 2008 your cards are up and you should have a IM with the link and how to save them. Any problems just write to me. Anyone else wishing cards just IM me please. - Jaz


PS I am thinking about offering another service. I will have to see what it will cost me to set up. I might be able to make cards you can carry around. I had a few requests over the years for them and now am thinking seriouslly about doing them up. The online card will always be free.
