Happy New Year & Hello to new friends

Just wanted to pop in and say HAPPY NEW YEAR...........and welcome new friends and losers in. I'm doing fairly well, I'm 17 months WLS out, 2 pounds to goal, (holy crap) and 9 weeks, 3 days post op abdominoplasty.....which......is not really going that great. I'm slowly healing, have seroma still leaking a little but I CAN WEAR SIZE 14 EDDIE BAUER JEANS!!!!!!!!!!!! Needless to say I'll be ok -- my PS is doing a revision of his first work sometime this spring. I'll see him in 2 weeks, and we'll further discuss details about the surgery then. For now, I still am wearing my garment (started back doing that today)...........taking it slow and easy, and find that keeping my feet propped up helps the agony of the belly swelling!!! They say this is normal, so I'm not worried too much. Plus, I have my PS cell phone # if I really need HIM, he's a phone call away. Day or night, weekend or weekday, or weeknight. He's the best. And if I get his voice mail? He calls within the hour. Most times. Oh, one other thing. I'm down 168 pounds since I started my journey. Holy crap on that too. Just wanted to say Hello and I tell you my whole story!!! Chatty Cathy!!! (Stacey!) hugs and Happy New Year to everyone!!! Stacey W
