Congratulations - 8kg in one

month is fantastic.

It is not very impressive that

your Dr here could not tell that the port

had turned sideways - I hope

you will make him aware of this.

I love my band and most of the

time I feel wonderful with my weight loss

and fitness, I have now also

lost the desire to eat a big meal and am happy

just to pop a few things in

the mouth.

I have lost a fair bit of wieght

in 11 months and the only problem I have

really had is that my immune

system has been run down a little, I now take

herbs and a tonic to help re-build

it.

Well good luck with the weight

loss and enjoy it.

I have lost 8kg in the last month.

I am ecstatic. I cant believe I

had to go all the way from Australia

to Mexico to get a proper fill. I

lined up for the fluoroscope

with Dr Rumbaut and Dr Kuri at the bandster

bash and they discovered I had

nothing in my band. The port had turned

sideways and it appeared the

local doctor had been hitting the side of the

port instead of the middle.

I havent been able to post any

of my BB2K photos because the processors

have lost them !!!!

All four rolls. I had to give them a description of

the photos so I referred them

to Waynes website photos and told them to add

a hot tub and people drinking

margaritas. Hopefully they will find them.

I actually passed a guy walking

UP A HILL today. I'm used to everybody

overtaking me. He noticed

me smiling to myself and frowned. I said "It

doesnt take much to make me

happy these days". I'm sure he thought I was

some sort of nut. I felt

like skipping up the hill - maybe I have gone mad

- but I LOVE IT. I hope

you all get to feel like this.

I have been inspired by

a comment on TV from Ian Thorpe 'Do the best for

YOURSELF every day"

(so wise for someone so young).

Congratulations to everyone else

who is emerging. I dont get to read all

the emails so I have trouble

keeping up with whos doing what. I cant wait

till I get the opportunity to

meet up with you guys. It is fantastic

putting names to faces.

Suzanne: I promise to ring

you soon. Life has been very hectic - as

usual.

Take care
