It's been a long time since I've wrote. Oct will be 3 yrs and I was still having problem eating. I eat about 8 lbs of american cheese a week, and sometimes can eat Baked Pototo, or maybe Cream Cheese and Lox.. I cannot get beef or Chicken into me.And I do mean nothing else. But, I have no problem eating Choc candy, or choc cake. So, I have gained back about 40 lbs. I have been eating the choc because that does not bother me when I eat it and it also helps me feel full because I cannot eat regular food. . I would get pains in my stomach or feel very full. I went to Dr. Homan befor he passed away, and he sent me to Dr. Marano in Hartdale, N.Y., he found a hole and fix it, but it opened up again, so he told me I have to go back to the doctor that operated. Well, I was very nervous because my doctor has passed away, but all this time it kept getting worst, 2 yrs later, I finally went to Dr. P. Weber, who now run the office. Today he called me with the Cat Scan results, and told me that my stomach was open again, and now I need to have the same operation all over again. And that was the reason why I was not able to eat all these years. Tomorrow I have to call the office and give them all the information again, and then he will operate. He wanted to do it this month, but my granddaughter Jessica is graduating June 27 St and I do not want to miss the big day. So now it will be for July, do not know the date yet. Will keep it updated.

JULY 10th., 2008
I will be going into the hospital on Friday Morning, July18th. Dr. Webber said there is still a hole in my smaller stomach and the food is going into the old stomach. And that is why I am having a problem eating. My old stomach filled up and cannot let the food out right away , it goes very slowley, and that is why when I eat, I am very full and it makes me sick. So now they have to close up the hole and was told it will be much better, and I will be able to eat... I HOPE.
I am very nervous about going back in, not sure what to expect this time. Here I go again.. Will post more when I am able to..
