Good News...
As most of you know my DH Alvin has gastric-by pass surgery on April 19. After just 6 weeks he's lost about 78 pounds and the best news is that his PCP called him yesterday and said that after reviewing his labs, he wanted him to cut his diabetes medicine, and his high blood pressure in half. I'm so proud for him. Maybe within a few more months he'll be off it completely!!!

Barb,
Thats just the happiest news. I know you are proud of him and you should be. I hope he is proud of himself, it takes alot of courage to go thru what he (and Jiff and Deb) is going thru. I really admire you all !!!
Love, Leens
