My update

Mary - good to see you up and about and posting!  It is hard to keep the ugly thought monster away isn't it? I have banished him from my house! He is not welcome around here any more!! One of the ways that it was easier for me is that I have been overweight since very young childhood - so I never had the benefit of a decent body - ever!  So scars or no scars , I look and feel so much better..... and when I dress in jeans etc I feel like a normal person for the first time in my life....  so don't berate yourself - you did something about it and you look beautiful!  I am always glad when my drains are out too- they never hurt but are such a nuisance - I will still need two when I have my inner thighs done - this time when I had my stomach meshed they were only in 5 days and 10 days - so relatively short... Anyway now they have gone you can bathe easier and that always makes you feel better too..... You can get there Mary - you are strong - and look on the good side - this was the LAST one! You are done!!!!!! Jackie

Mary -  so glad you are doing better, and thanks for keeping us posted, YOU ROCK! - Lys

Glad to hear you are doing better.
