Hello : )

[Guest guest]

Hello there,

My name is Isaac , I'm Reba 's son (she's also

known as Shrinkin2000). I just came to be one year out and my

mother told yall about me quite a bit so I thought I would say

hello . I had my RNY on Sept. 21, 2001 and to date I have lost

163lbs and 22inches from my waist. I started out at a size 56 pants

and weighed 336lbs. I now weigh 173lbs and wear a size 34

pants . I was wondering if you would be interested in helping me

out with something. I have a survey that I am going to be doing for

my Sociology class and I was doing it on Discrimination against

people who are overweight. Well, since most of you here know how it

is to be overweight and now also know how it is to be " Normal " , I

thought you would be the best people to ask. Any help you can give

me would be most appreciated. If you want me to post the results on

a website when I'm done let me know and I will try. The survey is

at bottom of the email. Just send it to a13thdragon@... if

you can't send it by just replying. (I haven't used this before so

I don't know.)

Thanks,

Isaac
