City: Keller State: TX | Babs reporting in!
Hi Guys,
Quick message. I just came home today from the hospital (saturday). Thanks to Michelle/Lisa for calling on me to see how I was doing. The stomach is not as painful as the thighs. Also it is impossible to see the results of the thighs cause I am wrapped up like mummy woman. I cried when I saw my new belly button. My doc did a great job and even with the swelling, hip to hip stiches and the goopy belly button I have a FLAT tummy. I am getting dizzy and need to lie down, so I'll give you more information tomorrow if I can.
Hugs to everyone~
Babs in TX

Glad to hear you are doing well! I bet it's good to be home too!
I can't imagine how you must have felt to look down and not see any tummy rolls or bumps. That just has to be AWESOME!!
Rest up, and we'll see you when you feel better :)
