Congrats, on droping down a size! :youcandothis::waytogo:

I know what u mean I to wish it could come off faster. I sometines wish I got the bypass. But my husband was too scared of that one. :tape2:It is better to be safe! But I have lived like this for many years. Hopefully this will be my last!....lol

hi, hope ur getting better! I had mine done on 1/08/09. So i know how u must feel. When i came home the cold weather liked to take my breath away. So i had to invest in an electric blanket n a heating pad, it helps with the gas. Best of luck to u keep in touch.
