Sorry for the long delay in posting. It wasn't but a few days after we returned home from Hawaii that I began to have episodes with Kidney stones and then ended up in the hospital for 4 nights.
I have yet to pass the large stone, but I am thankful for the pain to have dissappeared. I read that this surgery can cause kidney stones for some people. I really hope I am not one of those people.
My weight loss is continuing to drop off at a much slower rate, but still losing none the less. I am more than 60% of the way to my goal weight now, and I look forward to finally reaching my goal.
