I have been gone and now i am back if anyone remembers me

Hi all the last time i posted was sept. i was waiting for my surgery date, well i had my surgery on Jan 18th. One month ago,i was home for 2 days and then rushed back to the hospital for internal bleeding, my fever was 105.5. I was one sick man. but now a month later i feel great. I was 370 lbs and now 1 month later i am 305lbs. I take my vitimans everyday and b12 since i became enemic from the bleeding. they gave me a blood transfusions. it was awful but all worth it. i went from wearing a size 48/50 pant to a size 42 pant & my shirts were a 5x and now i am in a 2x comfortable. This is the best thing i have ever done. i go back to work 2/28/06. i am a bit nervous about that but i am thrilled to start my new life. it's nice to be back on this chat John
