Guest guest Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 thanks its just that some of the unpleasant symtoms i had pre band are starting to return along with the weight and i thought i had lost them forever. I had a fabulous time in Singapore and really enjoyed it especially as i was " upgraded " to business class in both directions so didn't have to suffer some of the usual indignities!! >To: SydBand > >Date: Tue, 09 May 2006 01:22:07 -0000 >Subject: Re: Elaine!!! >Reply-To: SydBand > > > >Oh Elaine!!! > >Firstly I hope your trip was nice - do share. > >Secondly, you are not a failure.
