Elizabeth CONGRATS TO YOU GIRL!!!!!!!! so very proud of you!!! WOO HOOOOOO

Thank you again for all your support and prayers,it is such a blessing to have you all here and be concerned! Ok I went in for a "rare" mesenteric cyst...they were not sure if it was attached or inside my colon. Well when they opened me up they found out that my ovary had moved way up and behind my intestines and was all swollen and disfigured with a cyst attached to it...YUCKY!! The good news is the healing process will be alot less and of course will not be as complicated!! WA HOO!!! I actually feel pretty good just a little sore and of course very tired. The hospital stay I can not say enough GOOD ABOUT MY SURGEON AND THE HOSPITAL staff at our little hospital.....THEY WERE FANTASTIC.....My incision is tiny well it is long but just a little tiny (like thin pencil line) Yesterday (sunday) they were going to let me come home but i started throwing up,had a slight fever so they kept me over night (i really think it was from all the meds) well now all i have to do is get rid of the kidney stone.....but i am doing great and thanks again! Crystal

just got home a couple hours ago ladies thank you so much!!!! For all your support and prayers, I am actually feeling pretty good. I am going to post a new post on how things went. But thank you so much for your love and support!

Thanks, Judi. I have my consult on May 14, and I'm scared, to be honest. And you'd better believe I'm asking for extra nipping and tucking while they're at it! Thanks! The hardest part is to think that I'm technically around 20 lbs from goal (the weight that the surgery won't remove), and I still wear a size 18 pants today due to the panni... It's just odd.
