Hi Anna Welcome to the board. I was just in Prescott over the weekend. We went on a bike ride. It is a real pretty place to visit. Keep us posted. Cynthia

Cynthia,thank you glad to be here glad you had a great time in Prescott. anna

Hi Anna, You sound like you are doing great. Keep up the good work. That is what scares me most about the surgery is a blood clot. My Dad died from a blood clot. He was in a car accident and was a big guy about 350lbs so he was immobile for a about 7 days in the hospital. They used those leg things on him but could not move because of too many broken bones. How did you know that you had a blood clot ? What are the symtoms? Thanks! Melissa

Hi Anna! I'm close -- I'm in Prescott. Welcome to the AZ board. We're a good bunch! Hugs! Sheryl

Hi, Anna!! Congrats on your success so far! Wow! You are doing great. Glad they were able to repair the blood clot problem and it didn't travel to your heart!! Whew!! I know a couple patients of Dr. Csorbays and they are all doing great. One I know is at goal and is living a normal life now and food is no longer the focus of her life. He's a great surgeon. Congrats on getting down below 200 and getting closer to your goal. Keep up the good work!! Trisha -101 lbs since 3/8/05

Hi Anna, Welcome to the board, you will learn lots. Sounds like you are doing all the right things. You have done great. As my Doc would say Do not get Complacent with anything this is a tool, that you need to work with the rest of your life. It does get harder, but you can do it, with the support of others & this board. Marilyn, the Bearlady
