Had my panniculectomy yesterday

My Port was replaced with a low profile one...

Yes, rest and recover and keep us posted! Would love to know if your port was involved at all...or is it high enough up that the doc wouldnt be near it?

This thread was started last December. Bob hasn't been around here since, as far as I know.

NOW the real work begins!!! I quit cold turkey 4.5 years ago. It only takes a few weeks for the behavior modification, ie not smoking after you eat, while driving, w/coffee, etc. or whenever you most smoked. You got through the liquid diet right?? You can do this too!!!

p.s. I too had the abdominal procedure....one of the best things I ever did

Thanks for the kind words Dave!

I only have 1 cigarette left and it WILL be my last.

I had a pretty bad cocaine habit 15 years ago and quit without any effort. I realized one day that I hadn't done coke in 6 months and it was over.

Nicotine is much worse than coke because it is so readily available.

Good luck on your weight loss. It really is easier than you think as long as you keep your head high and don't set unreachable goals.
