Hi KBear,
Carol also had surgery by Zeegers. I actually encouraged her after my surgery through facebook. She is also doing really well now, 11 months post op for her!
The only one thing I found tough after the surgery was that Zeegers left and I had no real post op orders to follow and struggled with what I should or shouldn't do. In the end I got there, but more post op advice would have been helpful. Especially getting a corset on, which I bought myself 2 weeks post op and found that it really helped. I had not much muscle tone left so needed the extra support just to walk straight.
