Cammy Thanks! I went on line to look it up and I think I will call the doctor to get a script. It sounds wonderful. I joined WW on line as well but I never did check it.I couldn't get the site to work for me or find my way around ( and I am pretty computer savy). I don't do meetings because

Hey there: I, too, have no gall bladder..had it removed when I was 24 years old. I started out on 400mgs. of Gleevec upon dx'es and that's where I've stayed since the beginning. Nothing really bothers me as far as eating, except I have noticed I have a lot of bloating at times here

It's great to hear of other CMLers doing WW. Since my diagnosis 4 yrs ago, I've gained close to 30 pounds, and you've inspired me to try WW now. Did you exercise much to lose the weight, or was your success primarily based on counting points? Thanks, Rebecca On 6/13/07, lbailes [EMAIL

Hi Susan, Congrats on your wieght loss! I am so proud of you! I just started WW ( lifetime member also) and am down 10 pounds and wanting to be at 130 as well. I have 30 more to go. I have just a couple of questions. Did you work out as well and how did your eating with WW affect your system?
