Hola !

You all look simply Maaaaaaaahhhhhvelous and might I add that Juanita and I are doing just fine chillin' over here in Bogota. We have a love / hate relationship as far as pouch intemacies go. I'm sure I will see things her way the farther we get along. Hail to the queen. Now that I have had and overhaul I am full of **** and vinegar to serve her royal majesty. Seriously, I have not had hardly any pain. I would highly reccomend these people here to anyone who is self pay. The people treat you like royalty. They have bent over backwards to make sure I am as comfortable as possible. I should be back in the US next Monday as they have a few more things to do like remove the sutures and drain tubes, plus take me on 3 guided tours of the city, one of which is to a museum dedicated to nothing but gold. I am put up now in one of the nicest hotels in Bogota until I leave and that is with a private nurse might I add. This royalty bit could become habit forming. Just kidding Me lady. Thanks for all the support you all have given me during this time. I will be back soon to check in. I love you all very much.

Awww Gary, You quite acting all high and mighty in that foreign land, you get your butt back here so we can kick ya round a little bit.;party: So very, very happy you are doing so well, we miss ya, and I know for sure the Queen of the Niners misses ya terrible, she just ain't the same without ya'll at her beck and call. Better come back here very quickly before you get addicted to that kind of treatment. Love ya, Betty the Boop

Right on Dude! Sounds like you've had the royal treatment indeed. I look forward to seein' ya post back in the good ole' USA Caboose

So glad you're doing well! Enjoy all the specail treatments now, because once you're back in your own home, you're back to just being Gary! Have a safe trip back!

Great to hear from you! I suspected that you were really on an extended vacation, and now you have proven me right! Glad you are doing well. We miss you! Joy -21 lbs / 21 days

Hey Gary!!! So glad to hear all went well... sounds funny about a tour and a hotel.. I imagined like a MASH tent and jungles for some reason.. I think you're really doing an episode of "Survivor Weight Loss Challenge" :haha; I bet you're being treated very well and they are all saying "How much did the KING tip you?"

Saw your name and it put a smile on my face to know that you were here with us. You'd better watch out getting all upity. That queen of yours might just take you down a peg or two I can't believe that you feel good enough to go on three guided tours. That is amazing!!! Well, enjoy it while you can cause once you're back home, you'll be back to your lowly duties to the queen Good to hear from you Gary -- you have been in my prayers. Whitney Angels Lori and Va Angelettes Lori and Va OMG I only have and a wake up left

Gary - I've seen your name tossed around here and there frivolously yet I don't think I've had the chance to "meet" you yet. I think I may have been out of the country myself when you surfaced as I had my surgery in Ensenada BC Mexico on the 10th myself. I gotta say, it's the only way to go for self-pay who can't afford the $30k on their own! Glad to hear you were treated well too! Dina

Gary so good to hear that you are doing well!!! Praise god and welcome to the losers!!! ~NIcole

Ahhhh...there he is...my Man Servant! And in GOOD spirits, I see! WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL!! THAT's the way I like my men! Did "Agent" from the chat board tell you I've spied on you? All went very well, from what they told me. I relayed it to the board, and they were all thrilled. They KNOW how cranky I can get when my staff isn't treated well... Hey, when ya hit that gold museum, d'ya think ya could skim a bar or two for me? I have a LOVELY brilliant diamond that's no longer good in the setting it's in (engagement ring...go figure...) and it's gonna need a good hunk of gold to reset (more than the scrap I have here) since it's a pretty good sized rock...think? You ENJOY yourself while you're there. THAT's an order!! I'm gonna pay ya all the vacation time you need/want...howz DAT for a good-hearted 'boss'??? Don't do anything that'll compromise all the lovely artwork your surgeons have done to you, but soak every bit of Tourista out of this gig that you can! Glad to see ya up and sassy! Be prepared...I have a HUGE "honey do" list awaiting your return (no fair defecting!!)! Love 'n misses!! Kimmer Queen of the Niners, Instigator to All Marchers, High Priestess of Giggles
