Sorry you had such an awful time in the hospital Marylyn.  Thank goodness that's over, and you're now walking with a little pain ... not a lot.  I pray that it just continues to get better, and you'll soon have no pain at all.  Take good care of yourself and get well. Blessings,

Wow, Lynn, look at you!!! You're doing fantastic. Think back to how you felt in January of 2007. . . . Isn't it a miracle? That's how I truly feel.  Congratulations on your wonderful progress towards renewed health and well being! Karen C

That's so sweet of you to say Karen.  Life was simply unbearable before my RNY.  I haven't lost any weight in a while, but I have come a very long way, and am very thankful to be where I am.  You've done a wonderful job. too!  I agree, it is a miracle ...... simply amazing!  Hugs,
