Hi mary, I'm so glad to see that you have gotten clearance for the surgery and that's it's been set up. I send hopeful prayers that it will have you feeling better quickly. Yes, please have DH give us updates.

And who is this Marlin that I'm beating here? I must be sure to keep way ahead. I ride in your honor, my dear! At least until you get back on your trusty Navigator.

<I'm not a doctor, but I play one on TV>I'm sure that you've considered many options for your DH's issues, but the weight loss and osteoporosis made me think of Celiac Disease. I know there are a couple of people with that one here. My MIL has it and those were her symptoms. <feel free to ignore that >
