Overall I am feeling pretty darn good. Just had my post op visit and I am down 21lbs since my pre-op diet. CRAZY! I'm SO happy! As I was rushing to get to my appt, I pulled in (phew on-time!) grabbed my stuff, jumped out of my car and zipped up my coat. I walked briskly through the windy parking lot and started laughing..(delayed reaction) MY COAT ZIPPED! Holy cow...my coat that I was "holding closed" all winter long JUST ZIPPED UP COMFORTABLY! WOO HOO! Such a beautiful thing! I look forward to more of these exciting surprises!
On a not so great note....during my visit, my Dr gasped when I showed him my incisions. I am only the 2nd patient he has every had to be allergic to the surgical glue he used. My stomach looks like a gutted fish...chopped liver (I've had multiple abdominal surgeries in my life) and this pretty, raised, red rash that itches like CRAZY just adds to the beauty of it all! So gross...cortisone & Benadryl to the rescue. But you know what...I'll take it if it means losing weight and getting healthy! Has anyone else experienced this?
Sending blessings & smiles to all who've visited my post.
