Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Oh , Wish we could reach through the computer and grab you by the shirt and cheer you up--unfortunately we can only tell you jokes to cheer you up.... Try to remember how badly you felt 2-3 weeks out of your wls to kind of put it in perspective.....and complain, moan, groan, etc., etc, on these pages for now.... As my friend Jan carey told me, it gets better every day (unless you overdo it-lol).....just keep putting one foot in front of the other, walk, rest, drink water, take your vitamins, extra protein.....in two more weeks, you will feel much better....take care of yourself--you do NOT want to end up with more surgery because you pulled something....

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2000 Report Share Posted August 8, 2000 Hi , LOL, actually I'm 36! Besides the plastics that were done on me, my PS found 2 hernias and repaired them but I don't think they were significant in size since I don't feel discomfort in the tummy area...if any area that brings attention in regards to 'discomfort', it would be the arms and breasts and that is only when I'm driving over bumps...be it a motor vehicle or bicycle.
