Topic: Walk for Babies - Please sponsor me and our little preemie angels... just like Chloe!

http://www.marchforbabies.org/personal_page.asp?w=161002604&u=preemieslikechloe

Please sponsor me for the Walk for Babies, please read below...

This cause is a personal one for us. Chloe was born seven weeks premature and we thank the advances in medicine and the wonderful medical staff at Morristown Memorial Hospital NICU for her fabulous start in life. She was under five pounds when she came home, 12 days after she was born. She's now in the 95th percentile for weight and height for her true age.

Please join Chloe, Jessica and myself for a fun day and if it's within your means, please make a small donation to the March for Babies. It's for a great cause and helps babies like Chloe get a great start to a wonderful life.

The March of Dimes has changed the name of its biggest event to March for Babies. It's a great change because it makes it very clear exactly who I am walking for -- all babies. I am very excited to be a part of the “first” March for Babies; please support my participation.

Although the name of this signature event changed, the mission did not. The March of Dimes champions the needs of moms and babies in our community and across the nation. The money we raise for March for Babies will support lifesaving research, services, education and advocacy that help babies get a healthy start.

Please help by donating today!

The mission of March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.

GOD BLESS YOU AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO WALK WITH US TO HELP SAVE OUR BABIES LIVES.

Topic: RE: Hello from Fairbanks

I had my RNY done in November 2007. I had it done in Fairbanks by Dr. John Mayer. He is a general surgeon, but practiced bariatrics in the Army. He is a wonderful doctor and did a very nice job on me. Just thought I would put this out there for those of you who dont want to travel all the way to Anchorage. Rusty

Topic: ulcer

I just wanted to put this out there for people as an FYI. I am almost 5 years post op from the Gatric and wanted to let you know that you really need to watch what you put in your mouth as far as medications as well as foods. I have RA and take a lot of anti-inflamitory mediciation. Recently I was rushed to the hospital with a perforated ucler due to the medication. If you have had the gatric and you need to take medication, start with liquid. if your medicine doesn't come in liquid form, cru**** up and mix it with something. DO NOT take it in a pill form. Our lining is so thin now that our stomachs can't take much and those pills will sit there and eventually burn a hole. I was lucky enough to have had great medical attention and very quickly and will be ok. I wish I would have done my research on the medication intake instead of just focussing on food. I hope this might help someone else out there.

Hey, You sound very passionate about joining. Have you trided talking to some of the people in the military and asking them what you could do in house to try and join ? If that didnt work i would start sending letters to my representive and sentators. After that i would send all copys of letters from military and congresman to the press along with making my own web page. Basicly Make Lots and Lots of noisy and good luck. Candy
