Guest guest Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 -Hi athan, So happy to hear you are doing well. One advice though. Don't go swimming that 3200 plus miles of the Atlantic or whatever to go from New York to the UK? I had to laugh when I read that under mapquest. Do take care of yourself and don't rush things because you are feeling well. You still had surgery, and a big one so spoil yourself a little. I wish you all the best and God Bless.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 athan, I lost a lot of weight post tx. I think I went down to 125-130. I normally weighted 165. It didn't take long to gain that back. I'm sure your going to be so glad when you get home for good. Blessings!
