Hello All

[Guest guest]

Jan,

Puppies? That must be very exciting!!! Sounds like you are a busy

lady. How do you do it with the pain level I'm sure you're at?

Well I totally agree about the weather making the pain worse.....I feel

like a weather vane.....I can tell before anyone else when it's going to be

nasty outside cause the Fibro throws the pain my way in advance.

Gee.....maybe I should try to get a job as a weather forecaster??? In

Washington State it wouldn't be hard.....um....today is going to be rainy

with sun breaks, but if you cross the street it may be snowing. Dang that

would be easy!!!

Take care of yourself and thanks for posting. Keep in touch.

Dear Femme:

Good bye......you will definitely be missed. I can certainly understand

about joining too many lists. It is a great temptation that I have trouble

with too. I've enjoyed your posts a lot. Fare thee well. I wish you the

very very best.

Hello All

Hi Group,

I don't have an opportunity to post much. I want

to say thank you to

all who do post. Everything you have to say is

most appreciated

A little about me:

I had my orientation at SSFK on 12/6/03 weight 333

lb.. I had an

appointment with Dr. Stiles on 12/13/03. She

told me my anemia

problem was a concern and the possible reflux

could be a problem. If

I can clear up both problems with more test and

iron, iron, iron then

she would give me a surgery date.

I'm down to 306 lb. and still loosing. I

have an appointment on 2/9

to test for possible reflux and other problems and

then I'm on my way

to other side.

Please send good thoughts my way that it will go

quick for me.

Please keep sharing your great stories.

Melveta

PS working out 3 days a week and feeling great.

Love ya Shell.

Hello Everyone,

I'm back

I want to thank all who posted, called, and visited me in the

hospital. I cannot tell you all how much I appreciate all the

support.

My Story:

The journey has been long and I have learned so much.

I was scheduled to have WLS on 4/15/04 at KSSF.

Due to prior surgeries and scar tissue formation they were unable to

give me the RNY.

I was very sad and disappointed at first. It was very hard for me to

talk to people that were able to have the surgery. That lasted me all

of 2 days

I am now Back in the Saddle again.

I am still loosing weight and will continue.

I will starting a support group for people that were unable to have

the procedure so that they too can have a venue of support.

I am lucky to have so many wonderful people to help me on my journey.

To my Angle Sue. THANK YOU.

I hope you all will continue to support me and others that join the

group and are unable for some reason to complete the process.

Love,
