ahhhhhhhhh. much better, now. It's been a week since my surgery. I had some complications in the hospital with my diabetes. it escalated due to all the glucose in the drips. when i got home i was feeling pretty weak for a few days. again, i think it was because I have been struggling with some diabetes issues. Yes, it was frustrating for a few days but it's only a week out and I feel like I'm almost back to normal... whatever normal is. lol. I was out at a shoot today and it went pretty well... not quite all there but almost! the weight is definitely coming off for the first time in many years. I"m feeling much better about the decision and well on my way to thinking as so many others that it will be the best thing ever.
