Hey gang,
It's been several weeks and people have been asking how I'm doing so I thought I'd update once again.

It is now 16.5 weeks since my surgery, and I am down exactly 100 pounds! I feel awesome, like a new man most of the time. I had to buy new pants and a new belt today. Fit into a size 56, down from 64! First time I've been in anything under a 60 in about a decade. Life truly is worth living, and I hope and pray it continues to only get better from here on out.

Had my first outing with the hobby again for the first time since January, and though I'm still suffering from some size and nerve issues, it was better than before for me physically.

Take care everyone, and thanks so much for the support!
Jimbo
