Hi & welcome, Allen!  Recently you wrote in a message to Daryl Stout:   
      
   AP>  Granted I am type 1 I have been through similar things.   
      
      
             It seems both you & Daryl have been having problems with the weather   
   lately too... [wry grin].   
      
      
      
   AP>  I also am a big advocate of the weight watcher's program.   
   AP>  It's not so weigh in and scale orenited with the new program.   
      
      
             Ah... glad to hear that.  Years ago Dallas & I had a teenager living   
   with us who had to weigh everything she ate.   
      
             For us & for our daughter, high protein/low carb works well.  But we   
   aren't you & you're not us....  :-)   
      
      
      
   AP>  I would exhaust every "natural" way of losing weight first.   
      
      
             Yes, I'd regard surgery as a last resort in situations where one can   
   afford to wait and see if a less drastic alternative will work.  You can't put   
   back what has been surgically removed if you don't like the result.   
      
             Thanks for checking in.  Take care & keep in touch....  :-)
