Sounds like good news all the way around!
With any luck, well if it was me, the weight will return now that you are feeling better.

Tyhnx everyone,i have had some pain,i am resting,and i am not going to lift anything...
I had real bad pain in my right testicle friday ,i went to my primary doctor yesterday,i am going to loose me right testicle,it seems the blood supply has been cut off,when they moved the spermatic cord,when i had the hernia repair last tuesday,i am upset,but there is nothing they can do for a twisted testicle,it has to be found with in 18 hours,or they cant fix it,thats what the urologist said this morning,i want to thank everyone who has supported me.....
Cory,,, darn,, just hate it when you have surgery to fix one thing, then bang complication, and another surgery.
We have a friend who had to have a testicle removed to,,, not fun surgery,, he wore the pants that surgeons wear, think they are called johnnys,, but that is what he wore, if you want to hear some of the other details he told us about,,, you can pm me.
Oh ya, so when will you be having the new surgery?
Hugs

Man sakes alive! Hope everything goes well for you on the next surgery.
As far as the weight loss goes, I am probably the only person I know who thinks being ill (for whatever reason) has it's good points - weight loss. For me, that's always a plus.
But I realize that's not the case for everyone, and I hope you are able to stabilize with that...
Take care. Let us know if we can do anything for you.
