Thanks Sweetie, You know you cant keep me off the boards, I will be here posting away about my progress. Face drains out tomorrow, that will be nice to not look like a scary monster with drains hanging off my face, luckily I came home at night so I didnt scare the other drivers on the road. Lol Hugs Heidi

Hey Carrie Anne, Great new pic, you look so beautiful. I am doing pretty good other then the dripping, and standing up straight is pretty much out of the quesiton at this point. I am gonna go lie down again soon so you probably wont hear back from me for a little while. My ears are starting to hurt too. Oh well, I hope its worth it. Love ya Hugs Heidi

Hey Sweetie, Did you really think you could keep me off the messageboard. lol lol You know I am addicted. It was like Christmas morning, I kept thinking can I get up and post now, will anyone really be awake. lol I know I am a dork. I am waiting until I stop dripping to see how I really look, so far it looks okay, but its hard to tell I am so swollen. I have 4 drains, 2 in my side and 2 in my face, I look like a freak. They didnt cut under my chin which was nice, I wasnt looking forward to that and my face is all wrapped up. I hope it looks good, I so want the turkey neck gone. I asked them to snap a pic of the skin, the doctor said ewwww why but they dont understand this journey we are on. I told absolutely everyone about the gastric bypass when I was there, the nurses were so sweet to me, I had the best experience in the hospital, I hope the healing goes well. I am getting my face drains pulled tomorrow so I should see how that looks anyway. I think I am gonna send doug to the drug store for some depends because this lipo draining keeps dripping on the floor. No not because I am peeing myself. lol lol Thankfully. Love ya, Hugs heidi

Thanks Micheal, I am just hungry, trying to figure out what to eat. Thankfully they dont starve you like with the bypass. It was great they allowed me to drink water after surgery. That was the hardest part for me not being able to drink. Hugs Heidi

God those blue eyes kill me, you are so beautiful. Gesh girl. Its not unbarable at all, just achy but nothing like my open rny, I keep waiting for it to really hurt and it just doesnt. Now that I said that I probably jinxed myself. I am not a big fan of the pain meds so I will try to take them but I wont suffer. I know you are going next and just remember to ask for the anti queasy stuff from the anestesilogist, its a miracle. Yup I know I murdered the spelling but you understand. Love ya Hugs Heidi

Thanks Krista, I will take some pain meds and hopefully sleep once doug wakes up, I dont want to take the wrong pills and I dont want to have to get up again. Last time I did I dripped all over the floor in the bathroom, the leakage from the lipo is less then pleasant. Hugs Heidi

Hey Beautiful. Doug sat there most of the day outside of lunch and you cant have cell phones on. I got your message last night on my way home. Thanks for your kind words. I look like the bride of Frankenstein, but I am hoping and praying it turns out good. The blood in my hair isnt cute either, ugghhhh the things we do to look good. I can't say enough about Yale, they were awesome. The nursing staff was top notch. I have to write a thank you letter to them, they made my stay so easy. Hugs Heidi

Hey kids I lived through my tummy tuck and neck lift. It wasnt really alot of fun but I did it and came home last night at 11pm. Getting my drugs from the pharmacy was the most annoying part,they kept poor doug waiting forever. I could have left an hour earlier had they not be bozos. The gave me valium and some pain meds but they dont make me sleepy. I was up all night long. I had this done at Yale and all I can say is they are the best, I used the residency program and they were awesome, from the orderlies to the nurses to my doctors, everyone was wonderful to me. I begged for the stuff that makes you not queasy after the anestesia and I was never sick at all. Which is a miracle. My surgery started around 10 and finished at 6:40 pm, Doug was scared to death since I was supposed to be done at 3ish. I dont know why it took longer but I am hoping its because they were nipping and tucking extra. I had a lot of lipo so I am dripping like mad and I have drains in my sides and my face, I look just lovely. One day late to scare the kiddies for halloween. Pray it all looks good in the end, I am bloated and achy but doing okay. Love to all Hugs Heidi
