Surgery over

They took it out!!! WHOO HOOO!! I'm doing good. It took me a while to recover from the anesthesia and my throat was really sore and dry from the breathing tube they had to put down my throat during the surgery...but other than that..... :-)

My tummy was really swollen yesterday when I left the hospital--it looked like I was 6 months along. Now, it only looks like I am 4 months along! So I am still wearing baggy shorts and Matt's tshirts, but that is ok with me! The recovery pain is similar to the pain after childbirth....you know, hurts to cough or laugh and you have to go really slowly when sitting down or turning over in bed....blah, blah, blah.

The doctor did not do the tummy tuck, but man am I happy about that! Then the recovery would have been way worse!
