Newbie

Hello all: I am a newbie to this part of the forum. I had my surgery on April 12, 2006. I have lost almost 160 lbs. I have some issues with skin now, but am working on that. I just wanted to say HELLO. Stephanie 421/265/245 ish

Hey Newbie Stephanie Awesome job on weight loss!!! Are feeling fine? Glad to see a new face 'round these parts!

Hello Peggy: Yes, I am feeling fine. I have had some set backs. Like 2 strictures, that have been stretched. I can eat again! The only issues I have now is the loss of my feeling in my left leg, and some hair loss, oh and my eyes like to bounce. This is a vitamin B1 def. So, I am now taking B-complex vitamins as well. Plus having to go get my blood drawn every week sucks major butt...lol. Last hospital visit which lasted almost 3 weeks in this past Nov., the Drs' found a blood clot in my lower left lung. So, I now take a blood thinner. You should see the brusies at times...Geez. Other than all that, I am good. Thank you for the encourgment. How are things your way? Stephanie

I left ya hangin! How rude! :) How's the blood draws going? ACK! WEEKLY? :P I'm doing good here. -128 and have energy for days! Wouldn't change a thing! Are you staying out of the hospital??? :)
