Good luck! You'll be fine. My sister (RNY 7/04) just had her hernia surgery on Friday morning. Was outpatient, went home on vicodin, was on tylenol on Sunday. She goes back to work today. I'll be praying for you. linda Adler

Well, I'm about to have surgery again, something I swore I'd never do unless it could be done under a local anesthesia. I have 3 abdominal hernias and will be getting a abdominoplasty at the same time to prevent more. Should be schedule in a couple of weeks or less. Insurance has approved. Wish me luck and pray for me!

Wahoo! You go girl! Congrats on riding again. I love horses but am terrified of them. I guess the thorobreds my dad owend and trained all those years were so high strung that it ruined it for the pleasure riding horses. Loved the story. Much continued success wished for you.

I so enjoyed your story about riding your horse! I'd sure love to see a picture of one of your 4-legged friends curled up in your lap!! But seriously. Your profile is GORGEOUS. I, too, love all animals. When I was a kid, I was a certified horse nut. Wanted to be a jockey when I grew up. Yeah, but girls can't be jockeys (1960's), not to mention fat girls. Hug those horses for me and keep up the good work. Linda
