Im doing really good after this surgery. I feel good and am focusing all my energy on my nutrition right now. Thats what is going to heal this battered body. My surgery went well and Im happy with the results. It is still swollen.
I spoke with my doc about tweeking the surgery just a little in about 6 months. No more big surgeries for me, but I would like just a little more off my neck. He told me that he could do a little liposuction as an out patient.
Im so lucky to be here writing this post. After going 3 rounds and winning the battle against OC, Im very thankful. Even with the scars and after effects, Im a happy person.
Suemarie, I would love for you to visit anytime you have the time.
