Outstanding NSV!  Fitting into clothes that didn't fit before is a wonderful positive reinforcement.  As is your sweetheart of a fiance who commented on your butt shrinking.  (It doesn't get much better than that!!)

Topic: dropping
For the hell of it today, I went through some of the clothing I have had in my closet for awhile. There have been things I have bought over the past year that just did not fit right. To tight in the arms or to tight around the middle or what not. Well I found out that I can fit into 5 shirts I have never worn that I bought. Almost into 3 more, they fit but a bit to snug and I hate snug. I also fit into a pretty dress I bought awhile back. I ran out of energy before trying on my clothes that fit me before surgery to see if they are to big, I have only worn sweat pants or leggins since I had surgery. But it made me feel pretty good. and it helped last night when my fiance` just said out of the blue. "Hey.. your butt is shrinking"... haha.. I have such a large one that I was surprised he noticed at all LOL goodness I love him LOL

Just wanted to share.

Surgical glue and steri strips on all 6. No drainage at all. The day after surgery my surgeon took the gauze off and I left them open to air. I also trimmed the edges as they got caught on clothing. They eventually fall off. There was no care involved at all. I had no drains. My surgery was done lap/ robotic and I had a hernia repair done at the same time. Good luck...

I'm being nosey here, feel free to not answer.  Where did you have surgery that you had to fly home to Clearwater?

Are you loving our cooler temps?  I have a VERY narrow comfort zone when it comes to the temperature; I won't like it if it gets much cooler!!

Happy to hear you are feeling so well.

You make me laugh. My surgeon said he wanted me out of bed and walking. I did have an epidural pain block during surgery which lasts 24 hours. it was great. I have a bottle of tramadol which I dont take. It is not as bad as expected.
