And I have missed YT. I had gastric bypass surgery in '08, and had plastic surgery to remove excess skin over this summer.

The first surgery was a thigh lift and, of course, I had complications. The second surgery was a lower body lift and, naturally, I had severe complications.

I had the LBL in July and had to have emergency surgery 2 weeks later because the blood supply below the staple line was compromised and I had a massive infection. I ended up with a huge open wound that has to be cleaned and packed twice a day. The wound is healing VERY slowly and I have only recently returned to work.

It has been a long, painful summer for me and I look forward to being completeley well and back in the swing of things soon........
