I am finally feeling good enough to get on here a few minutes.  It took me till today to feel human, actually till yesterday but my computer died in the middle of this message.  Anyway there is nothing better than looking down & seeing a flat stomach (lifting the sheet & looking at my stomach has become my new obsession)!  

The markings session was absolutely awesome, it allows you to see the doctors vision for you & that is where yiu really see the difference between any plastic surgeon & one who specializes or has had extensive experience in wls  patients, after that session was the first time I could actually visualize what I was about to become.

I am going on my 4th day after surgery and am surprised at how much better I feel than day 1 or 2.  My breakfast just got here so I will write more later.  Just wanted to wish the best of luck to those who have had surgery this week.  Terry I can't wait to see you just a couple of days now...

Hey Fab

The days only get better and better -- so just rest and take it as easy as possible !!  And it is something to watch Dr S while he is doing the markings . ( Guess I got to see it from two sides - first when he was marking me and then from a different view when he was marking Jess.  So I fully understand what you are talking about ! ) 

So glad you are feeling better . And I hope Teri will be able to keep you out of trouble when she gets down there !!  LOL 

And I got to ask  -- so was Dr S anything like he had been described to you ?

Talk to you later

 I absolutely adore both doctor Sauceda's him & her!  She is concerned because I am not eating enough so she is going out herself  getting me lunch and dinner today.   I have never met such awesome people. OMG! she just walked in with a huge basket of fruit & a whole grocery bag of of other things.  She is amazing... I'm gonna eat now.

TTYL,

Fab,

It's so good to hear from you..glad you're starting to feel a little more normal.

They ( The Sauceda's) are amazing people, it's almost like you are family they take such good care of you.

Eat and rest...once you go to the hotel you will really start to feel better.

 Fab,

I am SO glad to hear from you! I am sure it is a huge moral booster to see your transformations this early out. Please listen to Mrs Dr. S and get in your nutrients! That will only help speed your recovery.

I am curious... how do your arms feel? I am SO nervous that I won't be able to move them for a while after I get them done. 

Take care and speedy recovery!!!

Oh yeah- I am moving you to the POST Dr. Sauceda section of the spreadsheet!!

Mendee,

Don't be so nervous about using your arms...I could use them from day one...couldn't raise them above my head or lift anything of any weight, but I had no problem taking care of myself...showering...bathroom...no problem.

I couldn't get my self into my compression garment...actually still can't my husband has to get the last hook for me.
