Hi Gaynor and Swizzle thanks so much for your concern I am home Yeiiii and absolutely fine ...well apart from my wounds that are a bit oozy (sorry lol hope you are not having breakfast reading this lol) so on antibiotics but apart from still being a bit sleepy i feel great and have lost 11 ibs since the operation yeeehaaa cant stop smiling def the best thing ever knowing i will loose it and not put the weight back on as in all the diets i have done in the past...thinking back i have gained and lost whole people so now is the time to integrate them into one healthier person. Hope you are both doing well in your respective journeys. As for the operation, It went really well they completed it in just over 2 hours which is amazing!! heart really cooperated lol thankfully they have reduced the beta blocker as i was so zonked out with them was barely functioning at work lol but it did the trick to get me through the opand i could not beleive how little pain i have had incredible at first i thought bugger hes not done the op lol then took a peek at the 5 little dressings lol It was great seeing Brett at the Whit he is such a lovely guy...must check his posts/blog see how he is doing thanks again and will stay in touch and ooo yes before i go I have lost 11ibs since the operation ......yeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiiiii
