		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that there is a higher suicide rate about 2-3 years after weight loss surgery? I saw a news story on it recently and really liked what it had to say. Unfortunately, too many people think that bariatric surgery is going to solve all their problems. If I were only skinny, we think, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well now this is a cool story. First off, I can&#8217;t imagine anyone is surprised that morbidly obese women are more likely to be sexually dysfunctional. OR that losing weight would help, OR that such drastic weight loss would bring on &#8220;psychological changes.&#8221; DUH. Still, we know how these science types get excited when they [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Weight loss surgery changes more than just your appearance and your eating habits. No matter where you are in the process, you probably already have a basic knowledge of this fact. But it&#8217;s hard to overstate the mental impact losing so much weight so quickly has on you. Once you get to the other side [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone! It&#8217;s been forever since I&#8217;ve posted, and I&#8217;m sorry.  I guess I do these things in spurts. In fact, I originally wrote this post at the end of January. But computer problems prevented me from publishing it. Below, I mention that I&#8217;m 2 pounds away from goal. I&#8217;ve been hovering between goal and [...]]]></description>

Mostly, I want to vent about some of the ridiculous things that happened &#8211; the medical personnel who were incompetant or rude or both. I really want to [...]]]></description>

She doesn&#8217;t use email, so I haven&#8217;t been able to send her the digital pics I&#8217;ve taken. But she does have a computer, and today she was going to try and look up this site to see what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a little irritated today. First, some good news: I&#8217;ve got new pics, and despite not really liking my hairdo, I look pretty darn good. The skirt I&#8217;m wearing is a 12, but it&#8217;s very loose. This was taken after I&#8217;d been to Wal-Mart and successfully fit into 8&#8242;s. So as you look at this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A friend of mine from church had her gastric bypass last week. (If you&#8217;re reading this, Hi, C!) She was in a military hospital, so apparently they do things much differently. She didn&#8217;t have a drainage tube. Worse yet, she didn&#8217;t have the magic pain button. Worst of all, she was sent home within 24 [...]]]></description>

(Weird, huh?) But as I [...]]]></description>
