Glad your feeling better and have a good outlook, some of these recent post-op post's have started to scare the bejezus out of me. I'm scheduled for 8/24, The closer it gets the more I start to flip flop...

I work from home so I'm lucky in that respect, I will be returning to work 12 days after surgery...I'm hoping to be out of the woods by then and on the mend!

Good luck with your recovery and new sleeve! Keep us posted

You will be just fine. Remember the pain after that little guy was born. We all seem to forget in our joy of loving this new little person. Now it's your turn to start loving the new little person you will be.

I laughed out loud about the bending over to shave. That's the good thing about being nearsighted or far sighted ...whatever I am. I can't see my hairy legs in the shower anyway so I'm sure I miss quite a few. Every now and then I will notice someone staring intently at my chin....yep. A great big giant 1/4 inch hair growing fast and furious...nearly covering my lip, or curling under my chin... where the heck are my pluckers???? It wouldn't matter anyway. I can't see them. So my girls check out my chin and lip every few days...particularly if we are going to Costco or WalMart together. (I wonder why?)You earned those staples... they just barely pinch a teensy bit when they are taken out! :cheer2: Reb

I laughed about the shaving bit as well. That's what husbands are for BTW-Lord knows we do enough dirty work for them from time to time. Had mine shave my legs so I could weigh in the same clothes for my pre and post-op visits which meant wearing shorts. I was able to shave again after they took my drain out at 1 week though so you won't have to wear pants toooo much longer..lol.

EACH DAY YOU WILL FEEL BETTER AND BETTER. JUST TAKE YOUR TIME AND GO AT YOUR OWN PACE. I HAD STAPLES TOO. IT WAS PRETTY GNARLY AT FIRST , BUT HEY--- NO PAIN NO GAIN. (JUST LIKE HAVING A BABY) GOOD LUCK WITH THE NEXT PHASE OF YOUR JOURNEY.
