[Guest guest]

Hi Tess! Forgive the question-I am WAY behind in messages_but did you have a

gastric bypass? If so,. what kind? I am now 1 yr and 3 months post-op and

have lost 170 lbs to date. Renewed my membership to Curves-slackedoff last

year-and am GOING to get there this week. Next day off-as I am working 2

jobs and do not know whether I am coming or going sometimes! My RA has been

particularly bad this past 2 weeks-from the cold and rainy weather here!

Best of luck to you!!!!! sherri in Pa-striving to stay warm!

Stay strong and healthy
