Am I gonna Freeze to death?
Hi Dot,
Yes, Dot, my DH is Filipino and wants to go back after living here since the '70's. We will survive on his SS and pension quite nicely since our dollar goes much futher there than here. AND, I know alot of people move to Mexico for retirement, but at least in the Philippines English is the primary language, so there shouldn't be a language barrier. Yes, it is much farther, but I plan on coming back twice a year to see my family. We had originally planned on moving to Cebu, but have settled on Laguna. We will look like the odd couple....usually it is common to see an older white American guy with a very very young Filipina (they will marry the older men because they will take care of them and their families), rather with my husband me he is a much older Filipino man with the fairly young white woman. Haha....we will get stares!!

As I type this, I'm laughing at myself because I look like a little old lady with a shawl wrapped around me.
Also - got several of those $4.00 lap throws at Wally wold and keep those at my desks for my legs and/or shoulders at my desk at work(s)...
Good luck and don't you know that OG&E is just loving the WLS community !! lol
- Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose. Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email. I'll answer it as soon as possible.
- Total Lost: 139 lbs
- Current Weight: 263
- As of 11-10-13 I have had weight gain. Not happy about that.
- RNY: 10-16-07 = 338: Highest weight: 350+ Lowest Weight: 199
I have found a couple of things that help - a little:
Space Heaters and Under Armour!
I am freezing my tush off in this weather... brrrrr....
Dr. Walton told me that some "smaller" people are just aways cold - I guess I'll adjust. It's certainly worth it to put up with the cold instead of the hypertension, etc. etc. that we had before.
Best of luck keeping warm! Spring is on the way....
