Hello, everyone!

I didn't even know this November 2006 forum was here! How exciting! Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I'm Jaime, 30 years old. Had RNY Nov. 15, and am down 74 pounds. Hope to get to know you all!!

Welcome and Congrats on your terrific weight loss! This is a great board - We are glad to have you! Hugs, Britt

Hi! We had surgery on the same date! I had a mini gastric bypass. I'm down 66 lbs. Welcome!

Hi and welcome! We are glad to have you join us. Everyone is wonderful and supportive. Congrats on you fabulous weight loss. I am a day ahead of you but only down 54 lbs since surgery. That is 54 lbs that I will never see again and I am thankful to be a loser! ----Valorie

Hi Jamie, Welcome to the November 06 forum. I'm new here too. 74lbs is very impressive. You are doing great! It's nice that you found us. Welcome! Michael

Welcome Jaime. Glad to see someone fairly local on the board. I actually work for the hospital where you had your surgery. We are also the same age and had surgery one day apart. I have lost 115 lbs total and 105 since surgery. You are doing so awesome. It is amazing isn't it...... Have you had any trouble at all? HUGS Christy

Welcome and congratulations! It is such a great place to be!!!!

Thanks, everyone, for the lovely welcome! I can tell I'm going to like it here already...hehe Christy!!! That's awesome!!! I've had no problems so far. Everything's good. Well, I think my only problem is my slow weight loss, but then again, everyone I think thinks they lose slow..hehe. Do you live in Hunt.?

Jaime, I actually live on the other side of Charleston (Elkview) and travel to Huntington 2-3 x a week. I have the luxury of working at home part of the time. I don't think 74 lbs is slow at all. I know what you are saying though, I worry about mine somtimes too.

Shoot, I'm trying to wait patiently until the day comes I've lost 100 pounds..haha. That will be amazing! Elkview is a far drive! I get to work from home mostly, too, and it is a luxury! I'm a court reporter, so I just leave for a few hours a day, if I even work that day, come home and put the transcript together. Pretty simple. Well, it's nice meeting another local!! Have a great evening. It's storming out, so that means our nice 80 degree weather is gone...
