chrones disease diagnosed

Hi Kitt,
Thanks so much for replying to my post.  How encouraging to see what a great attitude you have.  I can imagine how you were scared about a flare up after the RNY.  I think that would be natural and am so glad you are doing so well.  I know how much better I have felt since getting my weight off.  I had osteoarthritus in my hips with pain before I lost the weight.  Since losing it, it is almost like I have none.  I am finding out more information about Crohn's and now know I am experiencing a flare-up and will feel better again.  Until then, I will spend my time learning and doing what I need to do to cooperate with my body-a stratedgy I used to cooperate with my body to lose as much weight as it was going to lose after surgery.  I might not be able to cure it, but I sure can cooperate to the best of my ability!  Yes, you are right about support.  I, too, think it is critically important.  Thank you for being my support today.  I hope today will be a great day for you and will pray for you as you courageously live with your MS.  Congratulations on your 35 pounds gone.  This is a great thing!

Sincerely,
Sharna
