Pookie: Glad you're home, rest up and take care of yourself. Re: your hernia,my mom had to get hers fixed twice, once when her weight was high and once after she lost all her weight. Actually when she got hers done the second time, they gave her a new belly button and tightened the skin some.
Pookie I'm so glad to hear that you're doing well!! I'm really happy for you, and more than a little excited to hear your progress throughout this journey of yours!
It sounds like everything went as it should, and so now it's a matter of healing and recovery......everything's coming up roses for you!! You've got to be just beside yourself with excitement, despite the accompanying healing pains. It's all part of the process, and you're headed for a new, healthy chapter in your life!
: for healing and continued "shrinkage"!
