Joe, Keep up the good work!!!! Itr is great to see success!!!! Kim

Thanks KIm

That is AWESOME Joe!! I am just looking into surgery now. I went to the info session in Greeley on Monday. I'm still really confused if I want the lap band or the rny. I have about 80- 90 lbs to loose and I just am not sure yet what to do.. I'm a little worried about having something inside like the lap band, but, I'm also worried about the risks of the rny. I have my meeting with Dr. Johnell next week, so, I'm sure that will answer some questions. As I've been on these boards checking things out, one other thing seems to worry me. It seems as thought a LOT of people end of having other problems a year or two after their surgery. Do you think this is because of the surgery that other things start going wrong? Just thought I'd see if you had any of these questions and if they were answered or not... Thanks.. and... Best of luck.. you seem like you are doing great! Kathy

K I sent you an e-mail. Joe

Joe, Congratulations. I am preop for Lap Band. I was wondering--if it wouldn't be too much trouble-could you send me a copy of that email also? I am really curious about that question too. Thank you in advance, Joel
