thaank u mam!!!!!!

I had my yearly physical with my primary doctor last week. Great news. I've never been more healthier. I feel good. My cholesterol dropped 21 points from 181-160 since my 7-05 physical. Both LDL and HDL(good and bad cholesterol) were normal. My blood sugar was normal. I was borderline diabetic before surgery. I got off 1 dosage of Protonix, now only need to take 1x day. My primary care doctor said I should be the office poster child for gastric bypass. He's so happy I had it done. At 1st he said I shouldn't do it. He said I should have tried the good old diet and exercise route. I could have done it but it may have taken me along long time to lose what I have in 1yr. He had a change of heart everytime I came in to the office either for a sick visit or for my yrly physical. I always weighed less. The Jewish holidays ended tonight(Hooray). Tired of temple. It was a long 2 weeks to prepare for. Anyways, there are about 400 people that my mother-in-law holds services for. All 400 or so came up and told me how great I look. I liked hearing it a few times but not every moment. Although it was nice to hear, it also got old. I see my surgeon on 10-19-06. 1yr and 1 day after my surgery. Hope I do well. Had a few bad weeks, but hopefully I put that behind me. Thanks for listening, Lisa J. in Mass

Please answer my previous post because we're trying to book a block of rooms and I need a specific count (or as close to specific as I can). I need you in order for this to work. I'm thinking we may have about 20 to 25 people maybe? Let me know people!!!!
