lawanda jessica 0 Posted September 6, 2007 Hey princesst that is fabulous honey!!!! Dont you just love it? I had my followup yesterday and the doc kept saying how well my surgery went. He said the same thing after I awakened from my anesthia. He took the bandaid off of my port scar and said it needed to breathe. He said since I was losing weight he wasn't going to do a fill until october 4th. Yikes I hope I'm still doing well. He gave me the ok to excercise but no crunches for a month. I walked a mile yesterday and woke up five pounds lighter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
