Hello Everyone,

I am new here and wanted to introduce myself.  I had my RNY on 3/12/10 and so far I think I am doing really good.  Can anyone give me some pointers on how to move around on the board easier?  It seems so confusing right now.

Thank you and I hope to get to know several of you over time.

WELCOME!!!  I am glad you are doing well.  Welcome to the loser's bench.

As for the boards... check them out a little at a time and when you find one you like... bookmark it within OH site.  there is a link to bookmark pages right beside your name at the time right of the OH site. 

You will find a ton of different interests and boards to check in on.  Indiana has a great group of people and we like to get together about every 3 months for a clothing exchange and to just have some social time.  Welcome to the group and post often!!!

Huge hugz,
Tracy

Welcome! I had my surgery 3-12-08. Congrats!!!! You will be amazed on how your body will change. OH is having a conference in August in Cincinnati OH. There are several of us that are going. If you would like to go, check out my signature line with the code in it to save 25.00. Several of us went last year and had a blast. You will meet people from all over. Hope to see you post often.

The beauty of a woman is not seen through what she wears. It is seen through how she carries herself and the way she doesn’t allow herself to settle. Don’t ever let anyone take for granted the beauty that is within you. Stand firm and know that you’re a wonderful person. Always remember your value and respect yourself. I’m so blessed to have you in my life.  Sometimes we all need to be reminded how special we really are!

Welcome to OH and the loser's bench! 

Best advice I can give is to check out all the different forums by using the drop down menu at the top.

We have several OH Support Group Leaders on this board, and any or all of us would be glad to have you join our group.

I will be starting in person support group meetings as soon as I've located a place to hold them.  In the meantime, I have an online group.  Send me a message, and I'll be glad to send you an invite!

A good way to get to know several of us is to attend the clothing exchanges that we have about every 3 months.  Bring your clothes that are too big, and pick up "new" ones!  We bring covered dishes to share, and have a really good time.  Watch this message board for the announcement.  We should be having one in April.

Welcome! You've hit a great state board for newbie info. These ladies (and gentlemen) have kept me motivated this year.

I agree with Tracy. Check out the forums slowly. They can be a bit overwhelming...even for net junkies like myself. There's a TON of information on them.

Welcome.  This is a great place to meet folks and get really good advice.   I seem to go between the main forum, the State one and the RNY forum mostly.  I get good information on all 3.  It took me awhile to become familiar with the site and have not touched on all the great sites on here.  I also attend the Bloomington Support Group the first Weds of each month.  If you do not belong to a group yet you will want to find one to join.  They are so important for support.

 

I am only one, But still, I am one.  I cannot do everything, but still I can do something.  And because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do
the something that I can do.

 Welcome!  Great to have you.  I spend most of my time on the main board, Indiana board and RNY board.  Sometimes the lightweights as well.   When reading the messages, if you find people you enjoy reading or having things in common with, send a friend request. Once you've made some friends you will see their latest posts and blogs if you click on the myoh tab when you login. You might want to join some of the groups too.

Good luck to you on your new journey.  Wish you the best.
