1.  First name or name you go by on the boards:  shoutjoy/Paula 2.  Surgery type: Mini Gastric Bypass 3.  Surgery date: May 28, 2999 4.  How far post-op : almost 7 years 5.  Highest weight: 214 6.  Day of sugery weight: 214 7.  Goal weight:  125 8.  Current weight: 139 9.  Low weight post-op if different than current weight: 107 10.  Biggest struggle as a post-op:  keeping my job.  Evidently my "medical condition" is interfering with my ability to do my job.

HI Paula!!! Looks like you were just a few months before me.  Altho I am not sure if you meant to type "1999" or "2000" because it came out "2999."  LOL. I go to NC very often because my boyfriend lives there.  He lives in Greenville though and I may be moving there sometime in the future.   I also weigh in around 135.  I have had multiple surgeries due to adhesions and stuff.... do you mind if I ask what kind of "medical Conditions you have?"   I don't really remember you on the boards, have you been on OH that long?  I started up as a member in 1999.   Anyways... PM me if you like.  Nice chatting with you and seeing someone almost 7 years out too.  There aren't that many of us on the boards anymore! Hugs, Dana

Ooops.  I thought you were from MD.  Oh well, I asked to add you to my friend list.  Let me know when you come to NC again. I have been on the boards for about a year now.  The VA and NC boards and now this one here.    What do you mean by medical conditions?  There is one thing I am battling right now.  I had passed a gall stone recently that gave me pancreatitis and my liver enzymes are high.  I am getting retested soon.  I THINK my love for wine may be having some influence on this also.  It is going to be hard to give it up because I really like the taste.  I don't drink it all the time, because I don't like how it makes me feel. Anyway, thanks for writing! Paula
