Hi Amy,

I agree with your wholeheartedly. Know the enemy. The best way to fight any

battle is to be as strong as you can be.....many health issues are under

our control (diet, exercise, whether we choose to smoke or not, monitoring

our health in general with exams, etc).........

R. used to always say that the goal of a CMLer is to die from

something else!! I will add....at a ripe old age.

Glad you are doing well post gastric bypass.
