Just saw this

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.

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.
