Bonnie, Congratulations on the successful crossover to the Loosing side, how exciting it must be to sit back and watch the weight fall off. I am 10 days and a wake up call away from it myself. Thank you for the excellant information about testing before this surgery. How true it is. Unfortunately sometimes even with all the thoroughness bad things happen, as I am watching a good friend of mine, Carla Rosen, recover now. Thank you for posting to her page. We both appreciate you taking your time to wish her well. I am glad the surgery went so well for you and hope the same for all of us endeavoring this transition now. Hugs to you,
