Absolute tonnes of best wishes for your op today!

Thanks, Fuffs and Blueeyes for also liking Dr Sharma's research. Some of it makes me giggle, especially when reading about "sham operated rats" (!!!).

Anothe excellent piece from Dr Sharma today on why weight re-gain following "other" (normal) diet and exercise is so common:
