Yay. Don't rush to post more, till you're feeling up to it. As long as we know you're OK.

Hi ya, Kids ~

Just wanted you to know that I spoke with Lauren this morning and she reports that she is doing
FANTAS T IC!

She is upbeat and voice is energized! :bounce:

:secret: BTW, her voice is as beautiful and :whistle: sexy as she looks...

Although the body wraps prevent her from viewing the surgeon's work, she is very pleased. When asked about the level of pain, she replied "the discomfort is definitely worth it."

Lauren’s :hug: family is attending to her needs, she sends her :heart: love and will :puter: post more soon.
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels...

Good morning, gang! Thank you SO much for all the kind words and well wishes, and thanks to Nancy for giving the update! Don't worry, I haven't been avoiding the forum because of not doing well, but rather, just that I couldn't seem to find a comfortable position to get into any kind of lengthy typing dialogues with my laptop. But as I improve greatly each day, I am able to make this work!

So, things are going well on the recovery front. Each day has come with a marked improvement, and I am up and about, doing some work and chatting with friends and family (both in person and on the phone). It's certainly not a "comfortable" experience, there is pain in the incisions, obviously, but to be fair, the greatest discomfort comes from the ports, which I believe Grayson talked about a bit. I won't go into detail for those squeamish readers, but let's just say it's not so much fun. On the other hand, I have a really high pain tolerance, so what I call discomfort others may consider pretty agonizing.

With all that said, as Nancy mentioned, even with bandages and stitches and scars and pain, it's ALREADY worth it! I already have the shape that I've been working so hard to achieve, and I am really pleased. Yay!

Thank you again for all the wonderful posts, your love and support is so awesome, and I totally appreciate it!

Hope you're all doing awesome, and for all you re-starters out there: MAKE IT HAPPEN! Life beyond goal is good.

Really, really good.

Lauren
