Lurker Challenge!

G'mornin' all, I have been noticing all the page views for posts. I'm issuing a challenge to all who lurk and not post to introduce yourself and say hello! Would love to meet you and hear of your experiences no matter where you are in the process, from just thinking about surgery, pre-op testing to postie. sooooooo....come on and say hey! Linda

Ok, you know me, but anyway! Valerie (the non-lurker!)

Hi non lurker LOL you nut

This is great Linda. I for one hope everyone lets us know who they are so we can support them if they want it. The 1st time posting is always the hardest. After that it becomes obessive. Don't be shy. All of us were new at one time or another. ((HUGS)) Elissa

Hi Elissa, Thanks for responding. ( lol you and Valerie ) Hopefully people will come forward and let us know of their experience. Personal accounts of your journey can really help someone else along. Have a great day! Linda

Good Morning, I am one of those----LURKERS!!!!! My name is Linda and I have been lurking in the background for a couple months now. I am in the beginning stages of all this. I have had my initial appt. with Dr. Wynn and am in the process of making my other appointments--Cardiologist, Gastroenterologist, PMRI, etc. I will be going to the various support group meetings and hope to meet all of you. You are all soooooo supportive of one another that how could I not want your support also. Plus you all have a vast array of experiences not unlike mine!!!!! Thanks, Linda

Welcome to the board Linda.....and Good luck on your journey! Were here for you Looking forward to meeting you soon....Keep posting

Quick hijack here...Shay when are you gonna update that pic of yours?? It doesn't do you justice at all. ( ps, still thinking of a way I can manage to steal your hair lol ) Linda

Well hello Linda! Nice to meet you. We needed another Linda in the WLS club. Glad you're here! Good luck with all your appointments. I know that part of the process can be frustrating at times but you're on your way. If there is anything we can help with please don't hesitate to give a yell. Oh heck, yell anyway Linda

Hello Linda Too/Two! Welcome aboard!!! So good to see you come out of lurking mode and into posting mode. Congrats on getting the ole WLS ball a rolling!!! What a trip this all is!!! As for the support thingy ... yeah, it is a bit easier to offer support to those that we know are hanging around!!! *huge ornery grin* So with that in mind ... get ready to receive tons of support whether you really want it or not!!! Cause that is just the way all the wonderful people on this board are!!! Always there to offer a kind work, a hug, a bit of advice, a hand up ... you name it. Good people around these parts!!! Again, so glad you finally felt comfortable enough to post. Hugs, Tammy
