Hi, I also had surgery on the 19th. I have been praying for you and hope your new journey is going the way you wanted. How is your recovery coming along? Please let me know. I have lost 35 pounds so far. I feel real good. The doctor released me to go back to work on Monday, I can't wait, I drive a school bus and I miss the kids very much. I am also able to eat solid foods now. I hope you are doing ok. Have a great day. Wendy
