OHHHHH MOMMYS you gonna look so fine!!!!!!!!!

I am excited for you and thrilled for what the next six months bring to your life. Your pain will soon subside, your swelling will too, you will touch your countours and think they feel like a someone else because it's been so long since you could feel solid, flat skin on yourself. And you will see your toes easily. The pants will slide up and zip up..no sucking in.

Friend you give those of excitement to those of us who know we will have to do the plastics after losing all that we have to and to remove what doesn't belong.

Can't wait for pictures. Meanwhile, here's one for the beaches in all our imaginations.

Thanks, Lap. Not so sure my tummy will ever look like this LOL!! I posted a new pic last night showing my incision. I will take a side shot today too, cuz the incision wraps much further around my back than I had expected. I think I go something in between a LBL and a Tummy Tuck. I'm so excited to see what it will look like in the end. It's kind of ugly right now though, gotta say. Lots of bruising and swelling.

Well poo. I have a seroma. When I took off my binder today to change the dressings, I had a huge lump of swelling and bruising on the left side. Called the doc and he had me come in. He aspirated quite a bit but said it was too thick to get it all. I have to go in again Monday and he's going to suction it out with a cannula. Yucky yuck yuck. So I don't look very good right now. Boo.

Oh, man. Sorry about that. At least the doctor is right on top of it.

That is my biggest fear once I have my TT (down the road). I have had a hernia repair twice and both times have gotten an infected seroma.

Hoping yours heals soon with no problems.

Has he mentioned putting a drain in it?? As if you need another drain, I know, but that's how my first one healed.

Snowgator -5 lbs

PartyAntOvrYt -25 lbs

Yeah, I think he's going to put a drain in it Monday. I'm kinda' bummed that this happened. Oh well. I guess one more drain won't really be a big deal at this point.

That's fantastic! Congratulations! And you should shoot for whatever you think will be a comfortable weight for you.

Half-way is awesome, congratulations!

Mini, thanks for sharing the photos. Hang in there, this process looks tough, but I"m sure will be worth it.

Think I found a new job, pay is not great, but full time with benefits, so thankful for that!

Has anyone ever seen the weight loss surgery channel online?

My blog was featured on it this week. That is kind of a thrill to me. If anyone is interested, the link is: http://ow.ly/p0gZ

It seems to be a very informative channel, I think I will check it out weekly.

Can I change my goal? I am in the depths of Bandster Hell now, and feeling like I will not lose anything until my first fill at the end of the month. :wink: So I am going to say -15 instead. Thanks!
