Guest guest Posted January 4, 2005 Report Share Posted January 4, 2005 Thank you all for your responses. I am going to call my rheumy' s MA tomorrow and ask her to run this by him. I am down 121 pounds in 8 1/2 months! The 'window of opportunity' for significant weight loss with the surgery I had is 18 - 24 months. I am confident I'll reach my goal, or lower. I'm off of ALL diabetes meds, high blood pressure meds, edema meds and anxiety meds. 9 months ago I needed to use a scooter-cart (whether I was in a RA flare or not) to buy just a small amount of groceries and I had to have help to tote them into my house. Today I did my monthly shopping (all my staples) at a 'warehouse' grocery store, walked & walked - no scooter-cart, bagged up my groceries, loaded them into the car, toted them into my home and put them away. What an awesome feeling it is to do these ordinary tasks! I am just so happy about the increase of mobility and freedom. Love & hugs to all...
