Surgery Update
 

As requested by several people :)

Surgery went well, they removed 10lbs of fat from my upper body and they re-cut and stitched my abs together, unfortunately the recovering was nothing like I had imagined, the pain medicine (perkiset) I ended up being allergic to so It did nothing for the pain, I slept maybe 6 hours between Monday-Thursday and have eaten nothing since Monday because I have no appetite. On top of that that pain is so bad I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy, it was just that horrible, I couldn't eat a cracker without getting bloated and I bloat constantly with the pain meds (I'm on darviset, vikoton and something else) My stomach would become so full it would be hard to take a deep breathe, all in all not fun! I'm still swollen up like a puffer fish, they removed my bandages Friday but left in my draining tubes I'm due to get out Wednesday (very excited about), Honestly I'm not sure I would get this procedure done again if I knew what was going to happen.

Well, hope it was worth it.

I just can't understand why people would put them through such pain with surgery unless it was needed and not wanted...

However, it's your decision and hope you get well soon.

I don't know what else to say, but I'm glad that you made it through. Still a tough road ahead though. Get well soon.

I totally agree

Feel better soon :)

That sucks Ryan. I hope you feel better soon!

Get well soon Rockstar..Hope everything works out...

It will only be in retrospect, several weeks or months from now, that you will be able to somewhat objectively say if the pain and suffering was worth the results you got. Best of luck.

Good luck on the recovery..

Hey Boi - Wishing you a speedy recovery!

I hope your husband and yourself will enjoy your new hot body.

Thanks, just out of curiosity husband how did you get your radio to say that?

Best wishes for a speedy recovery and enjoy the pain meds as much as you are able! Hope you find it was all worth it in the end! Maybe this will cheer you up a bit - not only will you be a bit leaner and meaner, losing the weight will also make your X and your RR a wee little bit faster too! :thumbup:

Oh man, all those meds...hope the results are what you hope for, G/L.

PS: driver8 is who your radio question should be addressed....woo-hoo, Darvocet!

I assume your are referring to Driver 8's avatar? If so, it's simple. If I may be so bold--it's the third song on the third studio album from a little old band from Athens, Georgia.
