Hi this is my first time posting a message. I have had a hard time loosing my 10% weight before surgery. I remember this at orientation but didn't do the math. I have my appt. to see my surgeon on 16th to schedule surgery. I am 52 & have been trying to loose weight for 34 of 35 years I have been married. I was healthy & weighed 105# & even worked in a health club showing people how to exercise & loose weight. (Funny huh) Well I was never going to be like them. Well never say never. I have 134# to loose. I already have two new knees ,I don't want the hips so I needed to do something. I need some advise & maybe high five that this is a go thing to do. Tell me everything I need to know. Dr, anderson is going to be my surgeon does anyone have him out there.? thanks Lori

hey, Andrea and Sandra, I just read your notes and wanted to know about the Seminar the 27th. I origianally was going to Post Falls, but it was winter and did not want to go up the hill (Lewiston ) to a seminar so someone talked me into gooing to Everett, Washington because I just had to look at a video online and not attend a seminar. (I have 2 years, and everything on the net you can imagaine) so they said I would not need to go to one. However, that is not working out so now I need to change my efforts to Post Falls (much closer for one thing) . Do I have to go to a Seminar? And, because it is a 2? hour drive at night, I would have to take some more time off work. I would not drive home afterwards. Any suggestions?

{{{{{{Aangel}}}}}} Welcome home and welcome back to cyberspace when you get that far!! Aangel's lap RNY was done that past Monday, April 12, in Idaho Falls, and she came through with flying colors! I spoke to her husband on Monday (LOOOOOOOOVE that rancher's accent, I'm still whimpering with homesickness *g*) and with Aangel yesterday. She got home Wednesday night and had not the most restful night of her life. She's one of those oddballs like me who thought the hospital bed was a truly helpful and comforting thing heehee.... So now she's in the totally baby steps phases of her new life. As I DS'er I couldn't answer her specific questions very well, so I'm sure that in addition to your well wishes, she would be very grateful for any advice/words of experience from those who've walked that same path.
