Overweight! Thnx Kia!

I am moderately overweight! NOT morbidly obese! BMI 29.9 And I have Kara to thank for the wonderful news (even though she doesn't know it). I was checking out her newly updated profile, looking very beautiful, btw, and came across her 'Find My BMI' chart, thought I'd do a little check and low and behold, "You are moderately over weight, you do NOT have a BMI high enough to be considered for this surgery" Yee Hawww!!! And I know no one in the world understands this feeling like y'all! I had tears of joy running down my face. Thank you all for the daily dose of support!! God Bless You, Barb 322/203/165

That deserves some Emoticons!! (lol) Kia

Kia you look absolutely wonderful in all your pics. You will make a great nurse since you have been on the other side. D'Lynn

Ty for the vote of confidence I can honestly say after working weekends in the ER for almost a month now that the more I go work there the more I realize how little I know! I am just chipping away at this huge mountain of knowledge I will need to know lol. It definately helps having been a patient a few times to put myself in their shoes so to speak. Kia
