Topic: finished the 1/2 marathon

Since I am a walker not a runner, my goal was anything under 4 hours. My official time - 3 hours 45 minutes and 55 seconds. Woo Hoo!!! I averaged a 17 minute mile.

My friend and I are planning to run/walk the Red Nosed Run in December. Who would like to join us. It's only 3 miles on flat terrain. Come on ladies (and gents)...We can do this!!!!!

We are going to dress up for the December 5k. It's all for fun.

Topic: RE: RNY Revision?

You do know that the length of the bypassed small intestine has no affect on the amount you can eat? Sometimes the amounts we can eat depends on the density of the food and whether or not we have identified our body's signal for full.

Are you gaining weight or have you just not lost as much as you would like to?

Can I ask you who did your original surgery?

Topic: RE: Boyce/Williams Support Group
I also attend the Fountain City Support Group in Knoxville.  It is a pretty large group.  And it is closer for you than Parkwest.  We need to start a support group in the Morristown or Jefferson City area for all us folks up this direction!

I am a teacher, and I am signing up for Cigna for next year during open enrollment.  I have been told by Cigna and ParTNers for Health that bariatrics is still covered.  It's the only reason I'm signing up.  It has been so frustrating trying to get information about what will be covered and the type of coverage we will have.
