Thanks Jenny, looks like you've done great since surgery!  I have loved everyone at Dr. S's that I have come into contact.  Dolly is a little difficult but seems to warm up after a bit.   Did you have to follow much of a pre op diet?  How soon after your surgery were you able to come home?  I just went to the pre op nutrition class at Rose and have my 'bible' to go through. And I have started shopping for some protein supplements so I can have some on hand. 

I can't remember exactly how I did it.  I had to ask another member who walked me through it.  From what I remember, you go into "user settings"  (blue writing on the left hand side of this page) and somehow copy and paste the ticker onto that.  When replying to a post, you need to check the "include my signature" box at the bottom before you click "submit" and it will post your ticker in your reply.  Hope that gets you started if not answers your question.  You may want to post that question on the boards and someone more experienced will probably tell you in more detail.

Dear long 2bthin2 I am having the gastric by pass.  I looked into the lap band but it just seems like too much of a hassle in the long run and if I move I may not find another Dr who will touch it.  Many reasons I chose the other.  Anyway,  I am not concerned with what others  may or may not say.  Most people I know are supportive but I do have those that aren't and want to tell me constantly about people who have died or what ever horror story they can come up with at the time.  I just ignore them and go on. Hope you have SOME family support though because that can be very important.

HEY JENNY!  How do you get your ticker to appear with your email entry.....I have tried everything and mine wont come through.  Thanks

Hi Alleyal2U, So how's it going now after about 10 days after surgery?  I have mine with Dr. Snyder on the 12th of June.  Any tips or advice you can offer would be much appreciated!!
