I am doing well

Surgery was yesterday morning. It went 8 hours. Today I am trying to move. It amazes me how bad the lipo spots hurt. I knew you all said it hurt but it takes most of the attention from the TT/BL. We took off my compression garments and took a shower. It definitely looks deformed and swollen but much flatter so I am excited.

Anyway I forgot to ask how much skin and fat he removed but will ask that and when I go to the hotel tomorrow.

I really do like Dr. Sauceda. I am fairly lonely and have been texting ALL day in between cat naps. My 7 year old has been using her dad's black berry to text. So those are hysterical. I think it will be easier at the hotel when I can get out and visit with others and such.

Glad to hear you are doing well!  I'm sure you are going to look great too!  Take care and get plenty of rest.

Wow!! I couldn't take a shower for 10 days, not until my drains came out.  

I have been lurking around checking on your status...I am sooo happy you made it through. I first noticed you wayyy back when. Then took a mental note of who you were when I saw you the pic of you and your babies on Halloween. That melted my heart to see all of you so happy in your Snow White costume. I really wish you all the best for you and your family-Jen.

Thanks Jen. This journey with WLS started because I am over 40 and  had health problems and knew I had to get healthy for them. I am such a different person. I am SO emotional your post made me cry. LOL.

Yeah well i'm a PMSing basket case myself now, so i'm cryin now aswell. It is true your so beautiful!!!This is it your on your way!

MY Lipo'd spots still hurt when I get cold!  I hate that!  But I was forewarned.  I am happy with my results, so I think it's worth it.

I think the hormone shift with ps makes us more emotional.

Glad you're feeling  up to texting.  I always wake up hurting more than I thought I would!!!!!  I don't think I'm having any lipo so will be lucky enough to avoid that pain.

Good you can text to keep in touch with your family.  I just talked to my son today and asked him to check out my laptop on Tuesday evening when I see  him so it's ready for the trip--I am fairly computer illiterate except what I need to know for work. 

I am glad you get to go back to the hotel tomorrow.  I really dislike the hospital routine.   When you have time or get bored, please updated us on your progress.  By the time I get there you'll probably be moving around like a champ.    Lin

Hey my friend, glad all is well.  Speedy recovery sent your way!

Thanks Lin Lisa and Kathi. The shower helped me feel human again but getting back into the compression garment was hard.
