I think I said that they believe that the stretching was at least in part due to surgeon error. My surgeon name is on my profile, I don't really want to **** talk him, I more focused on just fixing myself. I'm hoping nothing stretches this time- eager to get back on track.
I've been reading this forum for years so I've read a lot of good stuff. I'm trying to drink the 2 required protein shakes before I can be discharged. I'm ready to heal and start working towards wonderland- I'm 240 now ( or I was before surgery).
