Do not want this to be long and drawn out--but it may be a bit long:

1. First--and most important to me--I feel sooo much better than I did two months ago.
    a. I can walk two to three miles at a time vs could not make it across the room.
    b. I don't use a cane to walk anymore.
    c. I haven't had any diabetes medicine since my surgery and my blood sugar level is control ed.
    d. My blood pressure medicine has been cut in half--and is in control.
    e. I have stopped taking 12 pills a day (at physician's advice).
    f.   I actually felt like going away for the week-end to celebrate my 35th weeding anniversary with my DW.
    g. I can now weigh on my home scales!
    h. I feel Tony the Tiger Grrreat!
2. I will be eight weeks out from my RNY in two days. So far total weight loss is 63 pounds--54 pounds since surgery.
3. Do you think I would do it again--at this point YES.

Thanks for all of your help and support over the past eight weeks!!!
