...to smoke cigars once again!!! Met with my surgeon yesterday for my 3 month follow up from my surgery and he is very pleased with the way things are heealing and my weight loss progress. I'm down a total of 40 lbs from where was when I went in. I was down 45 but giained 5 lbs back somewhere during the last couple of weeks but I'll lose them again. He said that there is no problem with the occassional cigar. He didn't define "occassional" but I'll try to keep it down to 1-3 a week...for now. We're still on track for a Nov - Jan reversal on my colostomy.
