at my 1st clinic apptmy after release from hospital
Hey all,
Yesterday I was at the hospital clinic (three hours bus travel to get there).
My TT was 8/08/11 and I was in hospital until 24/08/11 (the "public hospitals in Israel often keep you in until all drains are out). Also my TT is a T-cut due to previous WLS before laparospy was done in Israel.
My surgeon examined me - not a student, resident, nurse - for all the treatment.
I had a SLOUGH wound at the T-connection which he opened and treated with Aquagel and to return to the clinic in a week. I am to have another 3 weeks "sick leave" (not that I am working at present), and to continue wearing the binder for 6 more weeks to protect and aid in healing wound.
I am trying to go out for a walk every day but even walking for me is a "foreign" concept as that is "exercise" ; however, once I am out, I do not mind to walk but I do not go "walking". I need a reason to go out - as in to visit a friend if possible.
But my tummy is FLAT from below the ribcage and even though my BMI is still not "normal" (152cm/79K), I look so much better than before!

Hi Mikimi,
So glad everything is going so well. You must be loving your flat tummy. I have no idea what that would be like, but I guess I'll find out in a month or so. I don't think I'll ever have a norman BMI, but I don't trust them anyway. My coworker is 5'2", weighs all of 112, wears a size 2 and her BMI says she's overweight. I also think our bones are heavier from carrying all that extra weight around for years.
Are you buying a snazzy tight new dress for the High Holidays? I'd bet you'd rock in it!
Continue to heal. Good luck to you!
Shabbot Shalom!
