Just wanted to say hi to everyone here, I am in the learning stage. I am gathering info, so I can make a life changing decision. I have to lose weight period, I can no longer "live to eat", I must "eat to live". Something is kinda funny though,

how come people can easily go out and spend $20,000-$30,000

on a car, but have a hard time investing money in a healthy LIFE? I will be doing alot of reading, hope to make a friend or two along the way. :wink2:

Welcome! It sounds like you have had that "a-ha moment" that most of us come to where we realize our lives have become unmanageable with our weight problem and it is time to make the change! Congratulations on getting there and enjoy researching your way through the forum.

Moonturtle where did you have surgery?

Fairway Medical Center...Dr French

I'm going tomorrow for him to look at the x-rays that show my port upside down and then we schedule the next surgery. I am being assured by the NP that this one will be much easier on my body because it just to "fix" something. We'll see...
