Hi Jeanane, Don't feel shy, everyone here is here for the same reasons, for support and to learn. I too had surgery on 7-3-06. I am doing well to and feel years younger, I actually feel my age (45) rather than feeling like I was 80+. I am down 63 lbs. and can do so much more than before. The OH family is the best and are very helpful. Remember you are not alone and the support here is like no other. Best of luck and e-mail me if you'd like to. Cindy L.

Topic: RE: Carnie Wilson on Oprah today!
I didn't think it was negative at all, just showed an unpleasant side of having WLS. Oprah said that we need to know how we got fat to begin with. I agree with that. I guess it all depends on your viewpoint.
