hey there, suzy here. I am 38, lobpi, had Mod Quad in January with great success. One of my life long dreams was to actually go through a fast food take out drive through and make the transactions with my left arm instead of undoing my seatbelt, turning and doing everything with righty (the show off!). So now I can, but there is a hitch.
While I can give the cashier my money or card and can get the food with my left arm; I cannot receive any change in coins because I still can't get my left hand completely over to catch the coins in my palm so there they go onto the pavement.
Undaunted however I have come up with a silly solution. I sew for a hobby and so have made a little drawstring bag with a wide opening which I simply dangle out the window towards the non-plused cashier who then drops dollars and coins into and I leave victorious! A small tin, cup, or tuperware container work equally as well.

Way to go, Suzy! It's amazing how we can come up with inventive ways to make things work for us.
I am 50 ROBPI, and have been told that the Mod Quad Procedure may benefit me. Would you mind sharing your experience with me? I'm interested in learning about your situation pre-surgery as well as the results post-surgery. I'd really appreciate your thoughts!
Thanks!
