Guest guest Posted July 22, 2000 Report Share Posted July 22, 2000 Maggi, I will be having the MGB on August 2 after several months of extensive research and talking to other MGB people. I don't know how I will handle being thin, but I sure can't wait to give it a try. I'm sure there will be adjustments, especially with the way I view food, but I'm totally ready. If I can help in any way, I'll be glad to. Good luck with your decision whatever it may be. Kay Newbie From Georgia > Hi.
