Hi Jeanne I just read that you are a new member of our happy AMOS family. I personaly want to welcome you to our very caring support group.I have been a member since March. I just love all the great people that make up this wonderful support group. I haven,t had surgery yet.I too have asthma and sleep with a Bi-Pap and oxygen. Sometimes I have to have it during the day also.I am high risk for surgery so I am trying to lose some weight to lower my risk for surgery.The heart beat of this site is the message board.Its like a meeting place to get to know each other and share our lifes . Some have had surgery and other our like us.The best way to get to know you is to post a message sharing alittle about yourself or you may choice to just sit back and read about others. There is alot of info here. also the before and after pictures are awesome too. When you lose 100 pounds you get to have your before and after pictures in their.Its a real incouragment to those that haven,t had surgery.LORD BLESS Momma Angel ~j~
