Thanks for all the good wishes. I never dreamed 20 years after
my June 86 WLS I would still be around. It has not been without
problems but would do it again in a NY minute but would have
picked a different type of wls instead of the one that I had but in
those days there was not much information around about wls and
not as many different types. Can't turn back the clock now and
even the surgeons doing my type of surgery did not know about
what kind of long term problems they would run into with their
patients 20 years later. Biggest problem has been anemia which
I ended up taking Procrit shots for. Just this month though I found that
if I drink a couple of protein shakes a day each has 22 grams of
protein in it and I have 2, it seems to bring my blood work up in normal
range which is the first time in 3 years and I hope it is not a fluke and
continues. Thanks again for all the good wishes
