Hi Michelle, Thanks for answering me. I have tried the Arizona Forum several times but unfortuneately, i didnt write down the names of the people who were there when I was there. I am doing pretty good after my surgery I think. I have lost 131 lbs and I am feeling gung-ho about it. Alot of loose skin, but that is better than alot of extra fat. The weight has slowed down alot which sometimes gets discouraging but its preferable to gaining weight. Can I add you to my friends list?

Nancy- You are too funny! I am picturing the lady in a movie called Rocketman. She is on a space mission and thought she was eating food paste from a tube. It was really toothpaste and she was totally foaming at the mouth. It was really funny. We love that movie. If you haven't seen it you should rent it. I hope the foamies did not last too long. Michelle

I'm new to this website, still learning what I can and can't do on it.I haven't even been able to post my picture yet. I am looking for AZ patients of Dr. Blackstone who had their surgeries in June of '06. I would really like to see how everyone is doing with their weighloss and maybe arrange some type of reunion . Thanks everybody!

Hi Amy- How have you been? Fitting in is a good way to put it. After the game on Saturday I mentioned to my DH that I wasn't the fattest wife. He got a big smile on his face. Michelle
