Hello!

I had panniculectomy, abdomincal and back, and surgery went well the only problem I had so that I went into surgery with a slight cold.  Now and since surgery been coughing it up which has been quite painful.  Other the pain from coughing all I really have been experiencing is some mild burning in the back and front.

The day of surgery I was 153.0, gained a bit over the prior weeks from lack of exercise and splurging, I figured he was gonna cut it off anyway so......I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 144.6.  I'm gonna weigh again on Friday.

I'm up all day, walking a little, and trying to get as much water as possible in, and I feel pretty good today.  This board has provided me with a great deal of information.  I have taken before, right after, day after, and hopefully pretty soon after pictures.  I'll share when I get those.  Thank you all so much for sharing your knowledge it was very helpful.  Take care all!
