I had one small incision near my navel (2 stitch size) and the 8" or so
incision at the bottom of my rib cage. They did the drainage tube 
through that incision. And, say, wasn't I amazed at the length of the 
drain tube they pulled out of me.  Bv)=

Percentage wise my deep-fried food consumption remains pretty constant.
But my overall food consumption has dwindled considerably. If I have a
decent lunch I'll seldom do more than a light snack or a Maruchan (brand)
Instant Lunch in the evening. If I am making something nice for supper,
I have found that I ought to skip lunch altogether.
