i'm just a mess! but i'm going to get better. i go back for my follow-up visit after having the gallbladder removed on the 17th. i really feel better after that. i really have my engery now. hugs, jeannie

, , with myself, kroger had a sale on chicken quaters .29 cents a pound, so i went to the store and bought some. but as you know it will take a long time to eat just one chicken quater so i was cutting it in half and my knife sliped. i tried to cut mt finger off. but i made a mad dash to the doctors office and she took care of me. my pcp is the very best! thanks for listing hugs, jeannie

Well guy's I'm now down 116 pounds since my operation in July 2006. I can not believe it. I still have a long way to go. My journey has been hard so far but I'm really happy with the out come. Hugs Dorothy (Jeannie)

I feel you, I really thought that it was bad as well. But the CDC in Atlanta states that OBESITY is a health issue. But all the same I paid cash and now I'm starting my fight. I was really concerned about my health and I really feel a lot better, with little exceptions at this point. Just last Friday I had to have my GALLBLADDER removed. I was getting sick too much. But I'm better now with my foods. I just now have to wait another 8 to 10 weeks before I can start excersing. Then only thing I'm able to do at this point is WALK,WALK,WALK.. HUGHS, Dorothy (Jeannie)

I hope that you had a GREAT HOLIDAY! Thank you, Jeannie

It really makes me sad! But I have a GREAT Doctor and she really is wonderful. But I think that she will be too far for you to see. It will depend on if you would not mind driving below the Airport. Just let me know and I will give you the information that you need. Dorothy (Jeannie)

I'm going to post and ask that we become a more active BOARD, I have looked around in other states and the most active BOARDS that I see are the MAIN BOARD and ALABAMA. I know that we can make this BOARD active again, I'm new here and really would like to meet more of you. Even though many of us live far and near I know that we can at least talk on here. Since the OH updated a few weeks ago we can now make a friends list I really think that is great! This is a good way that we can keep intouch with our new friends. I'm no expert on some of the issues that some have but it is really nice to try and help with some words of incouragement. So lets see if we can post things that each of us would like to see. Even if you are down post anyway maybe someone can make you smile just a little for a moment. Dorothy (Jeannie)

Stephanie, For our meeting in December I can see if we can get the club house where I live at. I know that I can use it I just need to know what day. I has a kitchen that we can use we just have to clean up afterwards. We could even have a small christmas party. So at our meeting we could talk about it and draw names give me a call and we can talk if you like. Dorothy (Jeannie)

That is OK! I know that you are very busy getting ready for Thanksgiving! I will try and call you later tonight. Thanks again so much! Dorothy ( Jeannie )

Hi Amy, I know that it is really nice to be able to do all these things and not get tired anymore. I really like being able to complete the house chores and still have time for myself. Well, I came home form the hospital today and I'm feeling really sore, I guess that is a small price we pay. I had one really big stone that was giving me so many problems. So now I'm back to square one, another 8 to 10 weeks of just walking no excerising. I just hope that this does not really slow my weight loss down. Thanks again for being here! Dorothy(Jeannie)

Well I'm off to the hospital, surgery is at 7:00 am today November 17,2006. I'm having my gallbladder removed. I will be home either Saturday or Sunday. The doctor say's that she is going to keep me because I have no one at home that will help take care of me for 24 hours. I will see you on Sunday! Thanks and God bless to all
