Newbie here

Hi there! My husband got a job in Northeast Atlanta and we will be moving there as early as January. I thought I would pop in here to find out if there were any support groups there and start to get to know you all on this board. I am a little nervous seeing as I have lived in Indiana my whole life. I hope it is ok for me to join here. I had my surgery May of 2004. I am currently pregnant with my third baby (a boy) and before getting pregnant had lost 120 pounds. Anyway, I hope to get to know some of you before I get there.

Welcome Leigh! I am currently pregnant too but with my first (and VERY exicted at that!) When are you due? I am not in the Atlanta area so I cannot fill you in on the groups there etc, but I still wanted to welcome you to the Ga boards Kia

I am due in March. I am really excited and SO many new things are happening in my life! I can't wait to get down there and meet some new friends. I know it will be hard at first, but I am determined to meet people and have fun with my new life!

Welcome to Georgia! I really hope that you like living here, and I hope that you can find a support group in the area that you will be living in. Congrats, on the new baby as well.

Welcome Leah, I too am new to this support group. I also am new to the post here. Although, I have not had my surgery yet; I'm very close to it. Tell me; what were the biggest changes in your life after the surgery; besides the obvious (smile)? Thanks Lee

The biggest change that I have noticed being 2 years out now is the fact that if I can't even finish the small amount of food on my plate, I don't even try. I eat to a point of feeling content, though that might not be much, and then I quit. Before surgery, I would eat until I felt like I would pop. I also look at food so differently now. I am really happy I had the surgery.

HI Leah, Where in Ga are you moving too? i am in cobb co. I had my surgery 2 years ago too and i am 7 months prego right now. I moved to Ga 7 months ago. its a good place to live. i love it here. How much weigh have u gained with the baby? Thats what i am having a hard time with is dealing with the weight gain. good luck on the move!!!

We are moving to the Chamblee area. I think that is in Dekalb county. Before I got pregnant I had lost 120 pounds. I had to put back on 10 pounds of that to get pregnant because my periods were almost non existant because of my weight loss. I am now at 180 and haven't gained anything yet so far. I am 21 weeks. The OB says he doesn't think I will gain very much since I didn't with my first two pregnancies and sees me coming out ahead and actually losing weight by having a baby. How many women can actually say that?
