LOOKING FOR A PEN PAL AZ WOULD BE GREAT BUT US WILL ALSO DO GREAT TOO !!!

Good Morning from Rainy Casa Grande AZ. My name is Judy.I go by JJ . RNY Surgery was June 30, 2003.I have lost from 386-180 as of today. That is a whopping 206 lbs lost!!!. I have another 60 lbs to go. I feel great. I have problems, osteroarthristis which I advanced it pretty bad with the weight bearning bones. Looking at 2 knee replaces in very near future and not sure what else, I have spurs up my spine, and others in ankles, wrists, and so on so on. You know how that is the domino affect. I also have problems that wieght made it worse and that is better or no more. Reflux is gone, my sleep apeana machine was lowered from 13 air pressure to 10 air pressure(that I will be on the rest of my life do to Polio), high blood pressure no more. I also have a new life. So to all of you that just had your surgery congrats and you have a lot to look forward to. The one thing I get a kick out of is everytime I went into see the doctor before surgery I hated the scales a course when to get to high they cant weigh you anyway but still you all know what I am talking about. Now I beg them please weigh me. I is so wondeful to do that!!!!! My doctors amazed to see me. They almost dont recognize me. I love it. Any way said enough for now. This seems a slow fourm so lets see if we can liven it up out there. I enjoy Crafts, ceramics,watching football,hockey, baseball,and wanting to see a lacross game, anyway not sure of spelling I have two grand sons that play it and never seen it played. I like drag racing events, some other car races, love to travel, love swap meets,yard sales, crafts fairs, Renaissance festivals, scottish festivals, and Genealogy. I am hooked on my genealogy stuff. I get lost into it, but history is one of my favorite things and when you can tie your family to it waw. I have a lot more things that I enjoy doing and likes and dislikes but this is a start. Take care all you JJ
