Guest guest Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Suzanne, take a look at http://www.bumblebeefitness.com Sharon, the woman who runs the company is a 13 year gastric bypass patient who has been running triatholons for quite some time. She may have some great advice for you (and I am just so darned impressed with her personal and professional accomplishments anyway!!)
