I'm new.

Hi everyone. I have been browsing this site since about March 04 and have just signed up today. I am a bit "computer challenged" . I feel like I know all of you and I get alot of information from your posts. I had surgery (lap-band) June 18th in Peoria at OSF. Dr Rossi did my surgery. I have had a very good experience so far. I have lost 69 lbs and have about 70 lbs or so to go. Look forward to "talking" to all of you. Julie

Hi Julie! Just wanted to say welcome! Hugz, Cathy

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME Now I am not the newbie!!! Tina

Hi Julie, I'm pretty new to this myself. This is such a great website to get help, information, and support from others in your situation. I just can't say enough good things about it, everyone is just GREAT!!! *~Kerri~*

Julie... I remember a Ludlum's grocery back then... 30 years ago! Memeories!!! Peggy

Hi Julie You are doing great, I got approved monday and my surgery is Oct 29. I am not sure if you know there is a lap band board, if you go to gallery (top left) then member forum then lap band, you can get alot of information or maybe share some of you tips. Tina

Hi! I didnt get a chance to welcome you to the boards yesterday, but wanted to do so today. Congrats on the weight loss! And I also look forward to talking with you too!!
