Mrs. D, I hope you recover well and are feeling better soon. Take good care of yourself. Julie

Oh, I'm SO sorry, Mrs. D. What an ordeal for you--I'm glad your surgery is over. Good luck on your recovery. The stats are one thing but when you ARE the stat, it's very sad. How long did you have your band? I wish you well. Please take care of yourself and let us know how you are doing. Karen
