Cruisin very beautifuly!

My thoughts are with you God speed

Please Sue do NOT go away and thanks for all your information.

Thanks for your daughters/family update. I was just thinking of an old habit I have. I get my best freinds to give me their mothers number "cause mom always knows where their kids are"

Wishing the best for Rachele! Glad to see you around Sue and was wondering when is your conversion? I'm speculating soon... I have a niece who's been talking RNY and Im trying to open her mind and feeding as much info to the DS. I know after reading all your attachments if I were headed in that direction it would be the DS for me. Thanks and take care Sue.

I've missed you! I myself have been extremly busy with my kids and year end work testing and sales. So glad you've seen the gastro-man, wishing you the best with your upper GI. I'm sure you'll let us know the results. As for Mom, what an ordeal, from what I remember she's back east? so your bro (who lives in calif) is out there sort of takeing care of the situation. I guess I'm out of the loop. Reguardless, hang in there. (((HUGS)))

May she rest in peace.

As soon as I get some money together!!! Tummy tuck, upper and lower eyes, chin implant...I would love to have some of this skin pulled up under my arms and on my thighs and butt somehow. Boobs are last on my list, they are being watched closely cause of the high cancer risk that runs in my family. I wouldn't hesitate having them cut if I hade to.

I always cut into tiny bits. I can't stand mushy food, even tho thats what it is by the time it's chewed..

Party at Pat's house!

I no longer have colitis, nor constipation! I have about 4/6 small BMs a day and do not have gas in a farting way....TMI Good health to you too!

Thanks for sharing your story and for all the info. I'm sorry to hear you have Ulerative Colitis, it's an awful disease. I had it and landed up having my colon removed and new reservoir and rectum constructed. That was 6 years ago and long before banding. My mom had colitis as well and had to take potassium and magnesium, but my doctor never mentioned it to me, I was on large doses of prednisone to try to put me into remission but it never worked. That’s why I had my colon removed. I've had remarks asking if not haveing a colon would help in weight loss? Not that I've noticed. Do you think haveing Ulerative Colitis "speeds" up your weight loss, mal-absorbiton? Wishing the best to you.

I lost my chips to Halloween Chocolate need I say more looser

That was great. The full story.

That's cramps not craps....

Bernadette I had what’s called a super-cervical hysterectomy. My doctor went in though the incision of both of my 2 C-sections (scars are on top of each other) and only removed my uterus. I choose to keep my ovaries and cervix since nothing is wrong with them. She also removed the old scar tissue from the C-sections and gave me a very fine 4” bikini line. I made the comment to my doctor just before surgery, How bout a tummy tuck while your there? She said it’s been done before, that if we were to have arranged it; it would have been possible… You will be knocked out for this one, not like having babies! That was done on 7-13-05, 2 days after my 46th birthday. I could have been back to work a week later but the doc wouldn’t let me, 6 week leave mandatory. I’m very happy to not have that monthly pain anymore, which was the biggest issue. My craps were unbearable; I was a mess emotionally and physically for a week every month. I was one to swell up and gain weight just before that time of the month, but since then I’ve lost about 7 lbs. . I feel free Best Luck to you

Don't sweat it...just stay healthy! So happy for you

Hot Dang! There is a HUGE difference

I'm so sorry Francesca The best to you, let us know when...keep us posted

King of the Hill. I guess you just answered my earlier question(on another tread)

Wishing the best for Patty Please keep us posted and give her our Love

I was just thinking about that earlier today Those demons, our day to day life... I say "what's next" to stop the train and get off. I feel so close to goal but so far from comfort and true happiness. We'll always be fighting, once something is fix, another will break. On another note, were you able to enjoy your bike this pass summer?

love those eyes!!

Lady, Betty and Jon...You guys are great

I hope your day is PINK!
