it's no problem. it was just not me that worked on this. shawna and kaninag helped out to. they had the idea about it and came up with the place. i would love to have one of this once a year. that way we all can help each other otu and all the new peopl that comes to join are family here. and its nice to see freinds like this.

can i get Dr. Miles and Dr. Schmitt added to the alabama- birmingham section of Surgeons?

any update on adding my docotrs to the list?

got mine and fine as far as i know. but my brother had is took out.

i ahd a little gas up to about a month afterwards. but nothing now. well nothing more then i did before surgery.

well kaninag you know im in. i did good on the last one. i at my goal before the time is up. im going to set my goal at 289. thats 25 pounds for me. its an high goal but i need this bad. start weight 314 goal weight 289 weight need to lose 25 pounds

the walking to me wsa the best thing you can do for the gas. and you are correct the staff that you see helps out so much. i would say they arer some of the best around.

you are correct im am very proud of you. everyone is different with pain. so i dont expect everyone to do what i did and walk walmart the day after. matter of fact i hope no one does that. but keep up the good work. im very proud. has everything gone ok with you? any question feel free to ask, no matter what it is we have heard them all. :sad::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

i say go for it. set it up and i'll join.

the one in bham has one for men. but thats just to much driving for me for one hour a day. i emailed veronica, so hopefully see will get back to me soon. it would be nice to have a banders work out day once a week or something in that order.

i will email veronica and see what she thinks about it. i think its an good idea.

words to live by!!!!! :wink2:
