Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations.
I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty,
believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.

Hey Nikki...it surely is not easy to put ourselves through reconstructive surgery. It is a big pain as far as I am concerned, but you will look back in time to come and be so happy that you put yourself through this...kind of like when you have a baby...you know dang well that it hurts like a mother to have this thing come out of ya, but you forget the pain. I know weird analogy, but you can ask every mother here do you remember the pain and they will tell you, yeah I do but our minds have a way of blocking the true feeling that occurred.
You know it is all about the support....we are the only ones who know what we go through being LOSER and then being reconstructed. It sucks for me knowing that I allowed myself to get to the point in my life where surgery was the only option. How could I have done this. Getting fat and needing surgical intervention is just sometimes baffling to me.
Trust me Nikki...you are just going through a rough spot...it does get better. I actually think I had it lucky because of having c-sections because I knew what kind of pain I would go through...although by far worse than a csection. I would do it over and over again....well not really, but grateful and very lucky that I was able to do what I did!
Take care sweetpea....and we are all here for you!

You know, when I had my rny, it was a "piece of cake" (no pun intended!), as I flew through it with flying colors. When I had my lbl, I knew it would be different, but since I did so well with the rny, and 6 months earlier when I had my kidney removed, I figured, ok, the pain will definitely be more prominent, but I'll do fine.....................NOT!!! OMG it was so different, not just because of all the complications that arose, but just the incision is so dang long, and it was so painful. Plus all the tissue, muscle, nerves that are involved just really take their toll on you. I still am on pain meds, but only 2/day now....before it was 6/day, and they were strong ones too.
But, I am so much better now...still a little numbness on my arms, and a little burning on my abdominal incision line, just when I stand, but I feel better, and I look better....no more saggy tummy for sure!
Hang tough gal.......in a month, so much swelling will go down, and you'll be so happy. Then as more time goes on, you'll start wearing smaller clothes, getting compliments, etc..it is so much fun!!
