Thanks!!! I REALLY have my fair share of scars though... I Have had vein stripping in my right leg (4 scars), ACL repair on both knees (3 scars on each), tubal ligation (3 scars), tubal reversal (bikini cut), tubal ligation again (3 more scars), gall bladder removed (3 scars), RNY (4 scars), and now my appendectomy (1 big scar).... OH and a bad do on a belly button ring (1 more scar, lol)
To top it off I am scheduled for a bladder lift on the 20th of September which will be 2 more little scars on each hip.... Then I just got a call today from my PCP about the Ultrasound that they did in the ER last Thursday on my pelvis and there is concern about the results so I have to go in to talk to the doctor. I know that they told me I had many dominant follicles on my left ovary and couldn't understand why I didn't have pain on that side. So I may need a procedure for my ovary now too..... What else... OMG!!!!
Whenever I go into the doctors or the ER I take a list of my surgeries and my meds, because I could never remember them all, for my age, my list is just too long.... But oh well.... I hope I am just about done with my list... LOL....
Thanks again....

Thanks so much... It seems slow going... It seems like my RNY was a quicker recovery than this is going, but probably because it is a bigger incision..... I am finally starting to get around though....

Went to the ER Thursday night with horrible right side pain. I thought it could be one of many things but was really hoping it was just really bad gas... LOL....
Well at 7 AM Friday morning I was in surgery to remove my appendix!!! They had to do it open too instead of lap, because of the amount of abdominal surgeries I have had. I have about a 4 in*****ision now to add to all my scars... LOL... I am recovering well, they got it early so it hadn't ruptured or anything. So I am doing well now. This is the first day I have really been on the computer, I have been updating friends on Facebook via my phone since Wednesday when the pain started.
Just wanted to update my OH family.....
HUGS to ALL,

I've lost 75 pounds. And yes, I'm totally gloating.
