Smile I Am Introducing Myself-Hello!

Hi:

My name is Diane and I am new to the forum and just wanted to say hello to everyone. I am in so much pain right now, and take so much medications. I made a decision to make up my mind, either die early or live longer. I have got so many more years left, if I make it. So I am researching, trying to gain as much information as possible, to make informed decisions.

I hope to know all of you better. I have many issues I need to discuss with you before I can even have the surgery.

I look forward to talking with you soon. Kindly write.

Stay Cool!

Diane , I am also new here . I to had many problems I had to deal with medically before my surgery . Being in pain on a daily basis was just one of the many obstacles in my way . Its been 3 months and 87 lbs since surgery and now instead of a fist full of MEDS for breakfast and dinner its half a fist full of supplements a few times a day . My body thanks me every morning now Let me know if I can help .....
