Guest guest Posted June 27, 2005 Report Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yeah, that's what I originally thought too. Your 6 week appointment is a group appointment (unless you requested otherwise) and then at 12 weeks you see the surgeon again. I already have my 12 week appointment set up for August 19th. That's when I'll be released to the final stage. As far as I can tell from the new binder sections that I printed out from Richmond's website, there is a lot more listed for Stage III and Stage IV just tells you what to avoid. I think at that time you can eat steak. My 6 week is next week on the 7th. I bought 2 pairs of shorts last weekend at Macy's. One was a size 22 and one was a size 20. I couldn't even zip the size 20's. Well, this morning I thought...what the heck...let's try those babies on. They fit! 1 week and 1 size smaller. Wow! Now I need to go buy a pair of shorts in an 18 and a 16. Hubby wasn't too mad even though I didn't buy cheap shorts (Tommy Hilfiger). Oh well. Someone will get some good use out of them and look stylish too! How are you feeling? You did a LOT of walking. Tina > > > > Hi All, > > > > I have been lurking for quite some time now.
