Hi There,

That was cool.  I don't know if I have a 'bigger' stomach, but I definately have a 'longer' stomach than most.  My surgeon told me he used a whole extra cartridge of staples on me.

I can eat 3 pieces of pizza, crust and all...  (well not the fat part of the crust, that goes to my pups...)  The reason I don't gain weight is because I am so tall, and because of my metabolism...  I am very lucky...  I feel pretty normal and I like that.

I am going back down to my lowest, but if I have trouble maintianing there, I am going back to here and maintianing here, it has been so easy!!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Sleeve!

Thanks again, that was great, and he seems like such a sweetheart.

Cindy
