Just like my mom, I'm supposed to make it to 90. Thanks Wanda, that was fun!! Paula

I got an e-mail this morning with this web site and thought you all would like to try it out. It tells you how long you should expect to live. Just something fun to do and kind of interesting. I bet our weight loss has really improved our chances of having long, healthy futures. Just put a www. in front: nmfn.com/tnetwork/longevity_game_popup.html I'm supposed to live to 92. Wanda

Hi Debbie; I just read your profile, it only took me an hour (hahaha, only kidden). As i'm reading your story it sounds like my life. Your before and after picture is amazing!!!! You look TERRIFIC! What does your daughter say about the weight lose? I have two boys (9 and 4), they are so excited for me. I love getting dressed in the morning and they stare at me and tell me how beautiful i look....I love it.. I'm so glad I joined this web-site, it's giving me much hope and I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks. Lisa

Julie, My problem started last month (exactly one year from my date Feb-04). My symptoms seemed like it was due from Milk (Lactose Intolerant). I went out and purchased the Lactose pills, but after a few days, this no longer helped me. Then I went to my MD who said I might have an ulcer, therefore, he perscribed "Nexium". Again, this helped with the heartburn, but now the gas appeared with a vegence. I called Dr. Ballantine (the dr. who performed my surgery) and says its normal. I can't believe that smelly gas this bad is normal... IT CANT BE! It's been so bad that I have kicked my younger son out of his room so I could sleep in it. I was tired of getting up to go the bathroom to let "loose". The worse time for me is at night. I've been getting very deprest due to this. I'm embarrased to go out in public for the fear of letting loose..what then? I don't know what else to do, what pills to take, who to talk to..... what??? How did you get better? How long have you had the gas problem? I plan on ordering Devrom tomorrow. I wanted it now, but can't find a store that carries it, so I must order on line. Thanks for listening, i'm just venting.
