Hey Teena, I'll be at the meeting tonight so I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you! I'm glad you're doing well and I found the more I moved around the better I'm feeling. The lower incision near belly button (I have 6 too) is doing that on mine as well and its starting to alleviate--yay! I may even see you on the 19th cos that's when my follow up appt is!!!! I think at 12:15pm... Take care and talk to you soon! bambi :O)

Teena-Glad to hear you are doing well...I appreciated the detailed info regarding your Lap surgery as I have never known where the incisions will be. It sounds like you are making wonderful progress and I wish you all the best! Happy Losing!!!!

Teena, Glad to hear you are doing o.k. I went to the dietician the other day and she said it will take a while to drink water normally. Sip slowly without a straw and she told me to eat 6 times a day. Very small amounts and wait 30 to 45 min. to drink any water after eating. Good luck! Hope this helps.

My surgery was June 6, 2002. I have been home since last Saturday. I have been feeling fine except for minor pain on the side of my belly button when I get up from bed or chairs. I have six insicions. One on my right side, two in the lower middle section of my breast, one under my left breast, one on my left side, and the one on the side of my belly button. I have not been taking pain meds because it only hurts me when I get out of bed or chairs. So basically it only hurts when their is strain. I do not see a reason to stay doped up for that short amount of pain.<pr><br><br> I have been getting in my water, but for some reason when I drink water I have to drink it nice and slow or it seems to hurt my chest. It takes a long time to drink water. It almost feels as if it is getting stuck or something. Food is a soar subject with me as I have no appetite. So I have to make myself eat three times a day even though I am not hungry. It takes me an hour to eat anything. I am kinda scared because several several years ago when I had anorexia I had this same feeling of dreading food and not wanting to eat it or smell it or look at it. Do not worry I am all cured now.<pr><br><br> I had no complications as of yet and I hope that I do not get any. I am so glad that I was able to have this surgery. I weighed myself the day of surgery and the scale said 305 ( pre op eating gave me an extra 5 pounds to work with) weighed myself on home scale and it said 290. I will not count it as my official weight loss, but I do notice a difference in my face and breasts a lil.My 2nd week follow up visit is June `9, 2002 so I will find out offical weight then. Stay tuned. I also have my 1st support group meeting post op tomorrow and I am so excited.<pr><br><br> I just wanted to thank all of you who wrote me and gave me such nice messages on my surgery pages. I still can not sit at my pc for very long periods of time so I just thought I would let you all know right here and know how much you all mean to me. Thank you all for your love and support. Have a great week.<pr><br><br>

Congratulations! You have made it through the surgery and now here's to a safe, pain free recovery! I'm inspired by your decision to keep pain meds to a minimum. Good for you! Hang in there the next few weeks as it seerms those are the hardest. Best Wishes.....

I am home and feeling good. I have a terrible amount of gas, but I am taking Gas X. I was admitted into surgery at 10am because my surgeon had an emergency surgery. I was at hospital from 5:00 am -10:00 am when surgery began. I was so tired. Surgery went fine. I woke up and immediately looked at stomach to make sure I was lap and not open and I have six insicions due to gall bladder also being removed at the same time. I feel good and I have been walkingall over the hospital and getting in my water. I will write more later when I feel better. I am trying to refrain from taking pain meds so that I can be up and active sooner. Thank you all for your kind words of support on my surgery page and email. Have a great week.
