Hello from Tink/I get SOOOO COLD!HeLp!!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

Well my summer went very well. I still

have stomach spasam's. The medication has

it's side effects. But then I have side

effects with my heart meds. The two together

can give me the yukies and makes me very tired.

When I get past the yukies... I feel GREAT!!!

I had my surgery in May of 1999. I have

gotten to my goal weight and lost a few more

lbs. I am forever thankful to Dr. Choban for

saving my life and giving me one! This last

year has been like a coming out party for me...

but I think next year will feel like that too.

I have so many things I want to do now!!!

I can't begin to tell you what all I have

done. (ALL LEGAL!! LoL!!) People I always thought

were small or light weights are starting to

look heavy. Yes I am still hearing people say

" you don't want to get anorexia! " geeeeeeeee!!

That comes from them needing to lose themselves

I feel!!! I'm the healthy one now. My Dr's.

are pleased with my surgery and are behind me

110%! My chloresterol, trigliserides, sugar,

iron, ...everything are within normal ranges.

No more asthma medications. My husband who

always loved me no matter what my weight hasn't

seemed to change his thinking and we are as happy

as always!! God I love him! Well we do more

activities and go more!! That's for sure!! I have

energy to do about anything. Next year I am even

trying water skiing. I would have NEVER EVER

wanted to do that before. Just didn't interest

me. I have been boating, sailing, laid on beaches,

roller skated, biked, danced and danced. On & On!!

It's a blessing!!! I am soo thankful to GOD for

letting us have this life saving gift! I can't

seem to find the words to explain the difference

in my life. My husband is able to be happy because

I am happy. My depression for years slowed him

and the kids down but no one ever knew it. We just

lived our lives that way. Not anymore. It's like

my new energy has lifted a cloud from everyone and

it's just plan GREAT!!! I find to that I'm not

nearly as easy to bring down anymore either. I

am able to avoid those kind of people because my

brain is just on some kind of natural high. Like

someone turned on the sunshine and music and

the flowers started growing...

OK, you get the

picture, but now I have a question and hoping

someone CAN help me. PLEASE!!

I get soooooooooooooooooooooo cold I can't

handle the cooler weather. I want to go to

football games and ice skate this winter.

I need someone to tell me what to look for

for a winter coat. Is there a certain material

or stuffing to look for in a winter coat to

get the MAX protection from the cold temps??

How about foot gear?? For my legs? I need

to keep warm. I had real pain from the cold

last winter. I have seriously thought about

the battery heated socks. Wondering if they

have long underwear that you can buy like that.

I hope someone has idea's. Hunting magazines

I guess might have that kind of gear. Yes?

Ok... Now hope your all doing super!!! I

have you all in my prayers,... even those I

don't know.

Hugz,

Tink :] / or JuneE
