Welcome to the TN board Cindy and Merry Christmas to you too. Congrats on your weight loss. You have done so great. I had my surgery at Vandy too. Mine was with Dr. Torquati. I had mine on 06/22/06 and I was 310 pounds and have lost 160 pounds also.  Are you going to have to have surgery for your back? Did losing weight help that at all? Sorry to hear about that.  Hopefully you can make some of our monthly get togethers. This board has a great group of supportive people and we are happy you are joining it.

Welcome Cindy,           You should join us at Hickory Falls for our Christmas Party Saturday night and we will break you in, we all are huggers as well!!  You have done wonderful so far. Shelia
