Hi Betty! I am so happy that you are one of the Championettes and that you have come through to the other side! Congratulations and take it easy for the next few weeks and just follow Dr. C's instructions and call Michele with any questions. She is very sweet and eager to help! Let us know how you are doing when you feel up to it! Relax and enjoy the ride!!!!!!! It gets better and better with each day...I know how you feel about the insulin and diabetic medications. It is almost too good to be true isn't it? I had my surgery on 5/8/01 and haven't taken any insulin since the day before surgery. I am a 56 year old grandma and I too want to dance at all of my grandchildren's weddings and you know what? WE BOTH WILL!!!! Love and Hugs, Janice Joy
