How ya doing Kerry?

How ya doing Kerry?

I am doing really good. I am able to move around without pain just a little discomfort not really worth whining about. I will probably be going back to work tomorrow or Thursday. No pains meds since the first night home and I took that just in case before bed. I really have no complaints. No problems really. I've been lucky. So you will be hearing something soon right??

Oh...I've lost 9lbs as of this morning!

That's awesome!!! I am hoping I hear something this week. I have an appointment on the 16th they are going to use that as like a pre op appointment if my approval goes through by then

That's good. Hopefully you hear soon. I would stay on top of them. They will know you are serious. I hope you hear something soon.

So i took binder off yesterday to see how my stomach muscles are holding up after my surgery , which was oct 3rd, let me tell u i was in extreme pain..... Its a necessity, i must wear it.... My stomach muscles hurt sooooo bad without it..... Im scared long term

You have to do it in strides to let your muscles get back in motion. So take it off for a little while and then put it back on. Yesterday I didn't wear it at all until before I went to bed.
