Did you know that we are all more than the number of pounds reflected on a scale? Since surgery in 2007 I not only lost a lot of pounds and gained some back, I have also traveled the world, completed half marathons, made memories with friends, got rid of a few so-called friends, fell in love, moved and changed jobs. 

 All things that were possible because I'm a healthier weight and can't be measured in pounds. 

 

Hi! 
Thanks for the response.  It sounds like you are doing well, Congrats!

I am a part of the Norcal group.  We get together once a month but online support is great too.
My entry freezes as I try and type and I have to wait...maybe others are finding OH a hassle, too..

If that doesn't change I will be searching for another online group, this is crazy.  Is it the flash on their pages or what?  Dont have this issue anywhere else?  wierd.

Well nice hearing from someone :)  Have a great week.

I hope everyone is having a great day. My name is Katt and I have been on OH since 2006/07. I haven't been on much in the past year, but am returning to my 'roots'.

I had RNY in April 2008. My highest weight was 295#. My lowest so far has been 187#. I have experienced a gain of about 25#, with a current loss of 4# so far.

I would like to start organizing get togethers fro the Inland Empire/Southern California peeps again. We used to do Coffees, Lunches, Dinners, Last Suppers, Surgery Angels, Picnics and Tom's Farms.

In addition to having my support group here in OH (ABetterClassofLosers), I am reactivating my support group on Facebook. You can find the FB group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/97027921536/photos/#!/groups /97027921536/ and you can find my personal Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/97027921536/photos/#!/TheOri ginalKattitude . Just add me and inbox me to join the FB group.

Have a great day!

Thanks for your post Linda.  This definately helps.  My surgeon couldn't figure it out neither and since it wasn't causing any other problems we just left it alone.  Basically he said just to keep an eye on what irritated my stomach when it got hot and to avoid/reduce consumption of those products.  Thankfully I have not encountered those problems recently.

We need all the oldies but goodies back here! 
I admit falling away from the site when I felt like I was finally freed from my fat prison cell and hearing one more "how can I take all these vitamins" questions might send me ove the edge was my justification , however...that was a dumb thing to do.  We all need people who have been there. 

I'm almost 3 years out.
I have gained approx 17 lbs from my lowest...I'm back.  


Good to see all your faces again and would love to hear updates.  Glad to see you doing well Gus!
