Nice to be back in the loop again......

Hello Indiana people! Boy has this web site changed since I used to be on it all the time in 2002! I am very happy with the new updates. For all of you who are hoping for surgery..."Good Luck!" And for those who got the "denials", keep your head up. Something may come up. Our school nurse got involved with the local hospitals new diet program and she is doing great! Of course I don't know if I could have done it. For those of you who are post-op congratualtions! I did not know how much I have missed everyones excitement of weigth loss. This could be the support that I desperatly need! I do need to go now, I am so looking forward to stopping by and reading post once again. Kathy 4/22/02

Kathy, My sister is 5 years out. she lurks around getting ideas..but posting gets feedback and feedback is support.. Good to see you back online... HOW are you doing??? Some of us need some long time out support... we need to know we can stay thin.. Linda

Stick around.....join in and we have some fun....that we do... I get about as excited as the ones who are approved, and i feel the pain of the ones that are not....and even worse all the exclusions now as well.....needs to be a way around that....How ignorant on anyones part for their to be that exclusion, when, the cost of staying obese is so high for insurance....dumb butts they are... I am off 3 or 4 asthma, allergy meds, pain meds, diebetic meds. meds to help me not wet myself...those are what i can recall off hand....traded those in for multi vitamins, flax seed, b-12, calcium, and a couple of other meds of that sort...

I have my profile on this site. It is under Kathy Loomis of KY and Kathy Loomis II of Richmond IN. The Richmond, IN is my current one of course. Thanks for the welcome!

Kathy, Im in Richmond too. So stick around I may need some good advice. Besides I feel all alone so far out here away from all these nice ppl. I need some Richmond folks to join in the group. Mariah

Mariah I am here if there is anything I can help you with. Maybe being involved with someone near will kick my butt back into gear!

Thanks Kathy, I need lots of help. This is all new to me and my hubby. He has more questions usually than I do. Heres to kicking your butt in gear....lol

Maria: Sorry for the delay. My hubby went through the process with me so he can answer questions from a hubbies view point. Just email me anytime. Maybe we can get together. And thanks for the KICK BUTT attitude because I need it! Kathy
