i  drained 32 cc last 24 hours so dr warnock's office said to wait until monday and then if i am draining 20 cc or less.  oh well.  at least i can see the end in sight. i called this morning when i saw how much i had drained.  i don't want to take it out too early and have a bunch of dried blood on the inside of me.  thanks for all the congrats though.  i will want more next week.  ha ha vick

You are wise to not rush things. If it is still draining that much, the drain is still a good thing to have in place.It'll be slowing down and getting removed before ya know it... then ya may have to get smaller pants again, once all that liquid finishes draining.
You are doing great Vick!
How is the pain level these days?
hugs!

pain from surgery is just a discomfort, it is my knees and hand that hurt so much now.  i sure was hoping wls would help with the knee pain, but it hasn't.  i also hoped that replacing both knees would help with the pain but it didn't help either.  i'm just about to give up on surgeries, even though i still have thoughts of a boob job, just a lift not augmentation.  my tube socks with an egg in the end are really pathetic looking. lol  how are your boobs, if u don't mind me asking?  vick

What boobs? I'll let ya know when I get some new ones..lol
They are definately NOT where they used to be. It was one of the first places I noticed loss of mass. I didn't have any to spare to begin with. Lets say I have to keep my bra straps nice and tight.  It helps hide the fact that they have been partially deflated. I am definately considering some work on those. My hubby said... that will be for me.. not you...what are you gonna have done for you? LOL. Well... lets see.. my belly, upper outter thighs, and what was my butt only now it is just a jiggly thing...lol OH yes.. the gobbler...
Sounds like a lot of body work to me. If I were a car, it would be so much cheaper, easier and faster to get all that body work done!
I have to admit I have fared far better than many I know, as far as excess skin, but then again I have only lost 100 lbs, many have much more than that to lose. My daughter was 410, she's down to 220 so far, and she has tons of skin poor baby.  She told me the other day she is gonna try to get in with mercedes for advertising, cuz her belly button is now a mercedes logo... lol. I feel bad for her being so young and having gotten so heavy, and now having all the excess skin to deal with. She's a beautiful girl, but very self conscious. She never seems to have trouble attracting men tho...

Well mine could totally deflate and they still wouldn't do that... I am the chairman of the itty bitty ***** committee... well not THAT bad.. but close. lol Always felt jipped in that department, until gravity hit.. then was thankful..lol

Dunno why but your comment about wrapping around your neck and tying them brought to mind balloon animals???

Vick, the more I read, the more I laugh.  You are on a roll with your tube socks tonight.  Can't wait to see what you have up your sleeve in the morning, and please let it not be your boobs.
