Drainers removed! woohooo
Jul 13, 2009
Ok just came back from my first post-op visit and Dr. Johnson removed the two drainersIt feels so much better OMG! I feel free; I still have to wear the binder but is ok I just didn't like the drainers and they hurt me. I am glad so glad they are goneLegs still swollen but surgeon said it's normal. Will take a nice warm shower and will rest some more
Now is time to rest and get better. I have to see Dr. Johnson in six weeks and I promise to have before and after pics then. Dr. Johnson showed me the before pics today and I can say it is wow! such a big change already; I am very happy with the results.

Five days post-op
Jul 12, 2009
It has been five days since my tummy tuck and I am feeling ok; I am kind of concern because my legs are very swollen but other than that I feel fine. At this point I don't feel pain but pressure which is kind of the same in my opinion. I am still on medication for the pain but they make me feel sick! I am trying to take them with food some crackers or something light like crackers but not helping.
I have my first post-op visit tomorrow morning and I am hoping to have my drainers removed. They really bother me; I am emptying them three times a day and I am recording the amount of fluids I collect.
Well is time for a short walk and a cup of coffee or juice. I will keep on posting.

Hey you!

Well it has been quiet a long time since I post anything! I have good news to share with you. I finally had my TT on Tuesday July 7th, 2009. I feel ok but sored and kind of tired. Surgery went well and I stayed in the hospital one day for ovservation. Pain was bad, really bad. I am taking three different kinds of meds to help me deal with the pain. I knew it was going to hurt and I kind of prepared myself for that.
My surgeon Dr. Melissa Johnson is such a sweet heart. I love her, and most importantly I trusted her. Hey wonder if I can become her "poster child" LOLwell she was EXTREMELY satisfied with the results and so am I. I know there is still a long way to go but I don't regret anything. I know the pain will fade and I will feel better........my mom's chicken soups, my boyfriends Pablo's foot massages, and my coffee are making all the difference
I promise to keep on posting and let you know more about the whole process. Happy Weekend!

One more chance

Food was a friend, never critized me, it was always there to keep me company, to confort me. That same friend, food, could of kill me. Four years ago I weight 293 pounds(296 3 months before surgery), I was obese, sad, depressed beyond treatment and just unhappy......
Four years ago I had gastric bypass surgery, and it changed my life. No, my problems with food are still there, yes sometimes I feel like binging, yes I still feel like giving up but, that should be a big BUT, now I have changed, I have learned that I can control my eating habits, I learned that I can do things that I only dream of before my surgery. This surgery has helped me emotionally, mentally and yes physically. Am I free from worries? No, Hell No! I still battling with my weight, I still have to think before I put something in my mouth, I still have ups and downs but what is different now is that I KNOW I CAN OVERCOME THIS, ONE STEP AT A TIME AND SO CAN YOU...
