Guest guest Report post Posted November 9, 2000 Thanks, ! I'm back in Vancouver, WA, now and doing fantasticly. The plane trip was a bit trying... I guess I had some *ahem* gas in my system, and when we went up in altitude it expanded. OUCH!!! I remember being concerned about altitude related gas expansion when I used to do NICU (premature babies) medical air transports.... but never though about it concerning myself. LMAO My mom came up from Roseburg, OR, yesterday to, " take care, " of her daughter... frankly she's shocked I'm up and active and pain free. Back in the 70's when she had the (dangerous!!) J-I intestinal bypass she was layed up for weeks. Thanks again for your kind thoughts! Jenn in Vancouver, WA MBG 11-1-00: 300Lbs 1 week weigh in 286!!
