HI

I just wanted to say "Hi" to every one here on the CT board. My DH and I are moving into our first home in Colchester, from Worcester, MA. I am from Hamden, CT so I kinda know the area. My DH works at Mohegan Sun and I am still looking for work, well maybe after the holidays- I am in no hurry to go back to work. I had my WLS on May 5th of this year at New Eng. Medical Center in Bosten and everything went great. I have had, and am very thankful , no complications. I have lost 82lbs and I am just loving it. I just wanted to introduce myself and let everyone know that I would love to talk with them. I love to talk to anyone, but I am 26, so if there is anyone my age out there PLEASE e-mail me. I am new and have no friends. I feel like the new kid at school.

Hey Kasey, Welcome to the Ct boards. These are the best people I have had the pleasure of sharing my experience with. Congrats on the 82 pounds. Jump right in.

Hi Kasey, hope you enjoy this forum. I find it very helpful. Toy, how are you holding up?? We are getting close, Tuesday is the day.

Welcome Kasey! The CT Boards have been such a wonderful place for friendship and information. Congrats on your weight loss, and moving back to CT! Love, Tammy

Hi Kasey! You'll find everyone here on the CT board very help, kind and caring! Glad to have a new member. Congratulations on the 82 lbs. I'm hoping to come over the the losing side soon. Take good care and if we can help with anything let us - me know! Hugs Heather

Hi Kasey, Welcome to Conn Board. It is always wonderful to meet yet another WLS person. I am not your age ..actually my youngest child is 25..Grins.. but I wanted to welcome you warmly.. Hugs Pattie

I justed wanted to thank everyone for making me feel so welcome. I am not as so as I made myself sound, I do have family, my mom and grand-ma, still in Hamdan. I do have a friend in the area, and a few in RI. I didn't mean it to sound like I had none. But I love to make new ones, especially WLS friends. Thanks again for all your responces. Hope to chant with you more Kasey -82

Kasey-Welcome to the CT Boards. This is a great place for support. There is a support group meeting in Hamden on Monday that a couple of us were planning to attend. Its in the senior center at the Miller Library. I know that is a little far from Colchester..but if you are ever visiting your folks on the first or third Mondays of the month come and join us at 6:30pm Again Welcome Joanie

Hi, Kasey! Welcome back to CT and welcome to the CT message board! I hope to have my surgery before the end of the year and have been posting on this board for about 3 months now. I've been lucky enough to meet some of the members of this group and I must say that this is the most helpful, supportive, caring group of people I've ever been involved with. They definitely are like a family (or better)! Congratulations on your weight loss! Debby
