Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Hey guys, Just wanted to let you know I'm home from my abdo & lipo & doing just fine. I have my new best friend, Mr. Percoset, by my side, and really couldn't make it without him. I'm walking all hunched over, and really can't tell the difference yet because my TT really was cosmetic, I'm swollen and bandaged under this garment and can't stand up yet to see anyway. Hopefully, Monday I'll get the drains out. I will say this, after an open RNY, then a lap transection for a SLD, this is far more painful, but I've finally learned to just keep taking the percoset, and it can be handled just fine. Thanks to all for your prayers and well wishes, they really meant a lot! Love, in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm supposed to call the doc Monday AM with the drain output, and if it's been pretty consistently under 20 cc's, they can come out. Surgery was Tuesday, so that'll be 6 days. Does that sound about right? in NJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2002 Report Share Posted November 21, 2002 Aaaaah !!!! Pretend that we're sorority sisters, hugging each other and screaming while we jump around in a circle. Aaaaaah!!!! Oh yeah, I guess you can't do that right now, can you? You'd probably bust a gut, literally. Congratulations on getting through your surgery safe and sound. I'm looking forward to hearing from you as you progress. By the way, I could handle everything just fine with Mr. Percoset, too. Kids? What kids? I don't hear any kids screaming. Do you hear kids screaming?
