Settle Down Sarah ! I haven't talked with for awhile but I do click on you every so often. Glad to hear you are A-Okay for the long awaited plastic ! Now don't fret about the delay, I always say everything happens for the best. Use this extra time to be sure you have great compression garment for everywhere when you get home. Remember the list from before your bypass... do all the bending stretching work you can before you go in like changing your bed linens, getting caught up on laundry, go thru and clean up...looking at everything when you are couch bound and NOT being able to do it gets on your nerves for sure. Get shopping caught up...I find nobody grocery shops for me like I do. They never get just the right brands and sizes. So, get busy and keep your self busy. You'll lose tons of weight from the surgery..I lost 17 just from a tummy tuck. I had to reregister with a new user name as I forgot my old password and my email has changed since I was last on so I am listed in Obesity help as Carol M from Dillonvale OH, that is where you will find my olhistory, my kids went to Ohio U. GO BOBCATS ! Say your prayers and I will too, best of wishes for you, I am so very proud of all your hard work and self confidence . You are absolutely beautiful. Love, Carol
