Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Hi, My stats are had surgery March 23, 2008 at 280 lbs, am now at 130!! The docs think I am too skinny, but I am thrilled! My cholesterol was 98 6 months ago, and no more high blood pressure. I have 2 replaced knees at 42, and can now get on the floor, and play with my Yorkie. She is so happy. Oh yea I can get up again too! LOL Tina To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Sent: Mon, October 26, 2009 5:45:54 PMSubject: Why?

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 just the yuckyness (sp?) of it!! I had one about 8 yrs ago. It's really not such a bad procedure... I am now more motivated b/c I have a cousin just diagnosed with colon cancer.... but I've had 3 major surguries in 2 years. I guess I'm just tired of docotors! lol To: DS_Friends_Keshishian Sent: Mon, October 26, 2009 5:45:54 PMSubject: Why?
