Tummy is GONE!!!!!

Dec 07, 2010

A few things I have to say now that I'm off most of the pain meds.

Dr Eric Wiess in Orange Park, FL. is a great Plastic Surgeon. He's worth every penny. The day I had the surgery and was home groggy and feeling like hell his office sent a lovely basket of flowers. They sit right across from my bed so I can see them. They called me up several times to be sure I was alright and that I knew to call them. When there was problems with the new fed rules about Oxycodo-Apap that you can not do refills they got new perscriptions to my hubby right away so he could get them filled.

At any time of night or day they would answer our questions. Just like my RNY doc did. The whole time I have been recovering they have been wonderful. As it turns out the drains need to stay a few days longer. They asked questions I never thought to ask and it was great.

Today they took out the pain pump and the black stitches. Told us how they wanted the pressure band to be worn and what to look for. They also gave us picture of the extra tissue. I know down here they don't use it for burn victims I wish they did. Still from the pic it looks to be around 12 to 15 lbs they took off.

They were happy that I get up and move around every few hours but I don't do any heavy work around the house and that I get out for a little while like at the mall. Over all they had nothing bad to say and everything looks great.

Once the swelling goes down and the site heals I will be able to do some light working out. I can already tell that pressure that had been bothering my back is a lot less. I can move much better and form what I can tell I will have a very nice hourglass figure.

I'll have to get use to the new bellybutton and being able to see all of me with no over lapping. I'll have to get new pants for sure.

Both Robert and Renee' have been great. They are helping me out but also relize that I want to try and do somethings for myself. They make sure I have taken my meds and am not hurting and that I'm drinking enough water and juice.

This had been a great Christmas gift.

I'll post pictures when I'm able. In the mean time I'm doing great and looking for a nice office job. I might see about going to school for a bit. Shopping is going to be fun for sure next month.
