	*04/16/2004 08:18 AM* Well, it’s official! You’re on the losing side. The trumpets are blaring, the cymbals are crashing and the drums are drumming – all for YOU! I hope that all went well for you! You’ve been out of surgery now for a little over a month – YIPPIE!!! Your journey will have moments to “pause” – I’d like to impart some words of wisdom for when it does occur - remember these wise words whispered by Confucius – “It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.” Be patient. You didn’t put it on over night, it won’t come off over night (DARN IT!)… RNY 10/31/03 – down 88 pounds!!! Good luck! — [Anonymous]

	*09/13/2003 01:53 PM* I totally understand, and found your story funny. I was told this problem gets better after surgery, I sure hope so in my case. I have found that drinking something like lemonade or orange juice makes it worse. Maybe because of the acid? — doodlebug

I asked for happiness for you In all things great and small, But it was for His loving care I prayed the most of all ~~Hugs~~ — Naes Wls J.
