Thumbs up Is that really you?? Wow man moment

While taking my evening walk yesterday, this woman came out of her home, walked up to me, and said "are you the guy around the corner who raises the Ragdoll cats?" I said yes, and she said she wasn't sure cause I was so much thinner. She wanted to know how I lost the weight (142 pounds), and I told her RNY. Then she said she had it done too. I thought she looked vaguely familiar--ended up she had bought a dog run assembly from me 3 years earlier. She'd lost 100 poiunds in the past 5 months, so it took a minute to register what she used to look like. She asked questions and we talked about 30 minutes, making it dark outside during the walk down my street.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

WOW, that is great!
It was WOW for her, too, I bet, since you didn't recognize her at first as well.

Say Dave, how is your wife doing these days?

I have ran into people too and found that relatives have had this surgery too that I never knew did. BTW I have always wanted a rag doll cat, they are just wonderful.
