Re: Hi ....I'm back, ......hi connie

[Guest guest]

your a month today , how are you feeling at this point ? ,hope all

goes well for you...to answer your questions, ...first surgery I was

banded for 10 days ,no splint.....2nd surgery banded shut 4 weeks

with a splint and it was removed at 6 weeks.....when the os removed

all the hardware(end of june) is the last time I saw him and he said

he would see me at my 1 year post op....But I'm afraid it's going to

be a lot sooner than that!

We are still going to vegas ,so I got 5 weeks to switch gears and try

to get my head into it.........

thanx for your thoughts

take care
