HI THERE GUYS AND GALS!  Tell us about yourself and your surgery or your wait for surgery or yourself or your family or just share anything you want and let's get to know each other better!  I had RNY 6 months ago at KU Medical Center in Kansas City, KS.  I have done very well and lost about 113 lbs, blood work is good and feeling much better than I have for months.  I am a wife, mother and grandmother of two beautiful girls ages 9 and 3.  The girls live in the Seattle area so I miss them a lot but we keep in touch and visit every chance we get.  I love plants and gardening and hope to be able to garden again someday.  I also would love to be able to go for a long walk and just enjoy more things that others take for granted.  Let us hear about you and what are your plans for the weekend?  Let's get this board going.  Kat
