Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 Dear All, Many thanks for all your encouragement. I'm sorry I'm not able to respond to all e-mails, but I'm deluged. Pardon the mass mailing, but here's a quick update on how I'm doing: No pain or nausea, lots of gastric rumbling, gas passing, and bowel movements (diarrhea quality, but no great urgency), tolerating Gatorade and juices well, also no-fat yogurt, following instructions for meds diligently. I'm alert and feel like I have energy until I put it to the test; then I tire quickly, which is consistent with my current diet! Only disappointments: my beard had not grown back nor had my belly disappeared by the time the anesthesia wore off! Will keep you updated, Jon in Tuscaloosa (tho' currently still in Durham) S. Berck Tel.: +1 Fax: +1 E-Mail: JSB@... Web Site: www.jsberck.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 24, 2000 Report Share Posted November 24, 2000 I am almost certain that in a few short weeks your face will be hairy again...It might take a few days longer for the belly..but hey....Congrats! Barbara... Please note that my hair speculation applies only to males..if you are female and have a hairy face and are sad...well..uhh...I am out of things to say.
