So glad to see you are back and doing good. I hope you have a speedy recovery!!!! Sip...Sip....Sip... and walk some will help with the gas pain if your having any!!!! Congratulations on getting to band land!!!

Just take one day at a time. When you feel down get up and walk or do something outside. Remember everyone has their "not so good days" and we are here to help each other out!!

Best of luck to you!!

Glad to hear everything went fine. Take it easy, although I see that will be difficult with 3 kids...I have 1 and can barely do everything! Cindy

CONGRATULATIONS! How are you feeling?

I feel a whole lot better today. But I do have some redness and irritation around my incision. It feels tender. I called the doc and did not get a call back. I will definitely have to follow up tomorrow because my sister and mom looked at it and said it doesn't look well.

Congratulations! Keep us posted on your progress!
