I feel for you... Know that God is good and he will carry you through. I have survived breast cancer now for 24 years come this June. I was 5 month pregnant with my youngest child, btw he is good and so am I. Continue to rely on God and all things are possible.

4 DRAINS !!!! 
I thought I was gonna die with 1 drain while I was in the hospital with my DS. 4 and they woulda had to sedate me LOL.
I don't envy you, but it will be all over soon and you'll have cute new boobies for all the trouble.
I am still here if you need an extra pair of hands around the house. Take care of yourself and be blessed.
Love Ya

You're doing great Lynne. I am so proud of you. You are so right on point about the DS being miserable the first few months, but it is so worth it in the long run.
Unlike you, I would NEVER do it again!!!! LOL. I never want to feel as miserable as those first couple of months post op DS.
Keep up the good work. You will be at goal just in time to strut in a new tankini this summer.,

I used Dr. Scott at the Harbin Clinic in Rome and had my surgery at Floyd Medical Center. I am very happy with both Dr. Scott and the hospital. I would definitely recommend them! I had the VSG on Oct. 4th, 2010 and am very pleased with the results. I am down 62 lbs and feel better now than I have in a very long time.

Celeste!
Big hugs to you. I'm so glad everything went well. I got my first mammogram last year, and will continue to get them because if a problem arises, I want to be in on that 100% cure rate, too.
Wow, four drains! Well, take care of yourself and I hope your pain eases soon.

Hello all,
What can I say to such a special group of people? I began reading your posts on Thursday evening and concluded reading on Friday during the time that I was waiting for them to take me to the emergency room. As I began reading the posts on Thursday all I could do was cry......bet you all didn't know I am a big baby. Despite my faults, God is good.
I thank God for each of you and thank you for having prayed for me and for keeping us in your thoughts and prayers. Over the past 60 years I have had many challenges and obstacles. This one has topped them all. There have been some rough days over the past two months when I first became aware that there might be a problem. I continue to hold on to God, my family and wonderful friends like you.
I am progressing well. I came home on Sunday and am resting comfortably. I am still in considerable pain but am taking my pain meds religiously. I was discharged with 4 JP drains and hope to get them out on Thursday which is my first post op visit with the plastic surgeon.
I would ask each of you to remind your friends and relatives to get their annual mammograms. That is how my cancer was discovered. Because of it, the cure rate is close to 100%. Without the mammogram it might have been years before it was discovered which may have resulted in a more advanced stage and less of a likelihood of a cure.
Thanks again to each of you for your kind words, for all that you have done and continue to do. You make me feel special! Will post later as I begin to feel better.
