Had the procedure down at University of Illinois a week ago, and so far, so good. Also had a hiatal hernia done at the same time, so I guess I've got one more little smile line than most of you, but healing is going great. Went to work last Sunday morning two days after surgery, which probably wasn't a genius move, but I had lots of help and so I basically got lots of brownie points and had folks say, "What are you doing here? Go home!"

I'm one of those weird people who actually kind of enjoyed the liquid diet, so that got me off to a fast start that I kind of hate to slow down. Big news is, diabetes meds including insulin- DONE. I'm cruising at 11o mg/dl doing nothing; amazing. I was one of those perpetually on the high end. Anyone else have experience with how to monitor and back off of meds as positive change happens?

Also, I'm sure I'll find it eventually, but is there a shortcut to those cool graphs everyone has of their progress? I'm very visually motivated...!

Thanks,
