When you're up to your ass in alligators, it's difficult to remind yourself that your initial objective was to drain the swamp!

"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"to talk of many things,
of shoes and ships and sealing wax,
of cabbages and kings,
and why the sea is boiling hot,
and whether pigs have wings"
and Lauras got her surgery date,
and that is why she sings!

Apologies to Lewis Carroll

Mahatma Gandhi always walked barefoot and ultimately the soles of his feet became thick and very hard. He also was, of course, known to be a man of deep spiritual conviction. He undertook hunger strikes as a political protest and at times was both thin and frail. Furthermore, due to his weird diet, he suffered from bad breath. VERY bad breath.

In fact, in time he came to be known as "a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis."

Then, turning to my love, I said,
"The dead are dancing with the dead,
The dust is whirling with the dust."

To all less-endowed gals I'd advise:
It's no use to obsess about size.
Yes, your A-cups can please.
You don't need double-Ds!
Lord above, you're as bad as us guys!

Google "ketosis".

Almost sounds like orthostatic hypotension!

The mirror crack'd from side to side,
"My curse has come upon me" cried,

I had sleeve surgery five years ago at the age of 71 1/2 years.

Currently maintaining weight at about 103 lbs down from starting weight.  I did go lower, but had difficulty maintaining energy level, so allowed it to climb about 23 lbs.  Would like to get it down about 15 more lbs, which I am working on slowly.

Best decision I ever made was to have WLS.  Health is so much better now, and cost of prescriptions has dropped at least $1800 per year compared to pre-op costs.

WLS is a life saver, go for it!
