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. 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.
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.
