HI Linda, I'm glad to see that your surgery went well and you are on the "weigh" down!! Congratulations!! (I am 4 months out today and down 52 pounds (5'1"). I am almost 1/2 of my way to goal.) I know you will soon be seeing first hand what a wonderful tool we have to help us get healthy and looking good!!! The first month is the hardest. I have been going to the New London group, so I haven't seen you guys from Yale lately. Hope to get to the December Yale meeting, so take care and God bless you.
