Hi there! I live in Hillsboro. I was very sick after surgery as well. Mostly due to collapsed lungs. Was in Respiratory ICU for a week. I don't regret my surgery though, although I know my pouch has expanded since I can eat quite a bit. I am at 200lbs right now and just joined the gym - I really want to drop another 50lbs. Send me a friend request on Facebook and I would be happy to become FB friends! It's Cindy Kyser. Hope to hear from you soon!
