I think I posted to the site wrong. I am getting all the posts in my own

e-mail. I am 2 1/2 years out. Had my surgery in California and my doc is

no longer in the business. I moved to Oregon and develope extremely high

blood sugar. My doc here just cused me out for 7-9 months saying I just did

not have will power. Then I went to my naturopath and immediately got put

on meds to pull the sugars down. I still have to, plus being on Atkins, no

carbs. I am not eating all the time, doing better, but I got scoped and my

stoma is big. I am almost 65 and on social security, so don't have much

cash. I have medicare and fed blue cross/blue shield. Some of us 'seniors'

(over 1 yr) here are looking for a better support group. I am turning them

on to this site. thanks, Ruby Starr
