New to the March 2005 Message Board...

I have posted a few times on the Michigan Board but have never visited the March 2005 Surgery Board and I really like it. It is nice to see how others with the same ReBirthday are doing! Anyway... My name is Tricia and I live in Grand Rapids, MI. I am 30 years old. I had surgery on March 23, 2005. My pre-op weight was 300lbs. and I am down to 246.5lbs. now. So I have lost 53.5 lbs. total. I look forward to getting to know everyone and getting some fresh ideas! Have a FABULOUS day!! :0) Tricia

Hi Tricia, We have the same surgery date, and have lost the exact same as you (about 55 pounds, the last time I checked). I started at 392#, so I have quite a bit farther than you to go. Nice to see a Michigander on the board. Nikki Y.
