Deb,

Hello! How are you? I am so happy to see you are home from NC and you are

loosing weight. You see..I told you..it's a piece of cake! Is Robin doing

well too? When I get back to IL. to visit relatives i `m going to visit you

gals. My family still lives in fort.

I `m sorry I haven't been posting I went to Columbus, GA. to play for 4 days

and I am no playing catch up. LoL One good thing is that the kids are back in

school. I NOW HAVE A LIFE! WooHoo!

Well, anyway keep me posted on how you are doing. I went to the DR's last

week for my 2 month post op check up and I am down 34lbs. Not the greatest,

but i `m getting there. I `m actually thrilled at any little bit of weight

lost. My PCP did say that my blood showed that I need to drink more, so I

have been doing that.

Take care

Best,

Joanne

Hi Joanne,

Robin and I are both doing wonderfully! I am so thankful to have found

this site and Dr. Rutledge. I am a little concerned about being the first

failure, but I know many other people have also had that concern, and they

have been fine, so I will try not to think about that..lol. I have started

eating some soft foods, and I feel like I could eat as much as I want. I am

still only eating small amounts because I'm still a little nervous about

getting a leak, but I feel like I could eat a whole bowl of oatmeal, instead

of a few bites. I know that when the scar tissue forms, I will be able to

feel the limits of my new stomach more. Right now, I feel like I haven't had

anything done to me. I read that from other people, and had trouble

believing it. It is amazing to me that I could have had all that stuff done

inside of me, and never feel any pain from it. Dr. Rutledge is truly a

blessing! I will think so even more when I am strutting around in my tiny

little jeans...lol. Good luck to you and congratulations on your weight loss!
