Hello and thank you

. Thats the first thing that came to my mind when I started to notice the pain was if it is a hernia. But I do not feel anything when I touch it, I mean I do not feel anything in there? if that makes sense, I do not feel any bulge or anything. It just feels like I pulled my muscles and it gets sore and can hurt pretty bad but then later on be ok. Its all up and down my scar and the pain is mostly at the top by my chest and in the middle of my scar (I had my DS open). The top of my scar is at about my breast bone and it goes down to a couple inches above my belly button. I don't know what it is but I am hoping I just pulled a muscle or something.
I am going to have my PCP check it out.

Thanks again.

I'm sorry Jessy...I'm sure you love your aunt (as you should), but she sounds like a real biaaatch! Holy smokes...I cannot believe how rude she was to you! ((hugs)) I'm so sorry she did that to you. You know what...? She is nuts! Your pictures clearly show how you are literally melting away! You are doing an AWESOME job, and I am very proud of you. I wish you were my daughter!

I'm glad your mom is going to start going to the gym with you. Trust me, she'll start noticing your weight loss very soon. It's harder for those who see you on a daily basis. Also, congratulations on your awesome grades! You go girl!

Hugs,

Felicia
