Thank you for your responses to my thread about whether or not to call in the Grandmas. I've been following the threads about your post-surgery "adventures", too. Which procedure did you have? RNY or band? Open or lap?

All three were lap-rny, well only the first was the rny. The second was the leak repair and the third was to see if I had another leak.

I agree with peachie........call in the "big guns."

I had the lap rny, hodegard. I am not sure that I would have done the open. When the cardiologist came to see me he asked if he could look at my incisions. He said they look like "buck shots"

They are ugly little things, but what the hey, I won't be wearing a bikini in this life time any way. (although my friend made me a basket an brought it to me in the hospital and her dh gave me a thong!) ROFL I saw him two nights ago and thanked him and he asked if I would be wearing it around Christmas time. I told him that I would wear it tomorrow. I have no pride.

glad I could help.

Peach you are giving me so much encourgement. To think that you are thinking of cleaning the family room says wonders to me. please let me know if you actualy do it. I am planning to go to a convention 18 days after my surgery, as long as everything goes ok. Thanks for posting. Love Marsha
