Don gained weight (abt. 20 lbs.) after his stim surgery in June 1994, but it was a welcome weight gain because he'd become so thin (6', about 135-140 lbs.). He stayed at that weight until this summer's backpacking trip, when he lost 15 or so lbs. He's regained most of that weight in the past six weeks.
