Hi - Newbie here

Shanna, I will do that.  As I said, I'm in Northfield - in fact, we were the very first ones to have our house completed and move in.  We lived out here all by ourselves for a couple of months!  We're on Belle Union Dr, on the corner of Wheatfield Dr.  Yellow house on corner - something else we have in commoh - yellow houses!

Hi Chris,
 Welcome to the Family!!!We are glad you are here, and will support you along the way! I hope you stick to your efforts to quit smoking- you can do it!
 
So glad you live near Shanna & some of our other "family"- she is really a wonderful, special Sisterchick of mine/ours!! Just keep remembering to take it one day- one hr. sometimes one minute at a time & you will succeed!!!!
Keep posting so we can get to know you, and join us in our activities/events!!

Hi Ellen!  Thanks for the warm welcome.  I've lurked on here and read many posts, and finally decided to sign up.

It's great that I have members so close!

I'm definitely going to stick to my guns about smoking.  It certainly didn't help keep my weight down!  Plus, I have to be nicotine free before my pre op testing.  I want to be ready when that date is set!

Hi Chris,...

Welcome. My name is Linda. I have been around about 2 years. I had my RNY in 11/06, and have lost more than 1/2 of me since then, LOL! Good luck with the quitting smoking. I know it's hard. But you can do this.

Hi Gail and Linda!

So far, I'm finding that everyone is so friendly!  I figured I needed all the support I could get, and looks like I'm finding it, along with a few neighbors.

Can't wait till I join the losing team.

hi chris ,I live in plainfield..welcome to our OH family ...My husband is currently trying the chanix..It does make you nauses but so far down from two packs a day to 1 to 2   cigs.. I will pray for you too...You can do it...

Hi Sandra.  Thanks for the warm welcome.

Good to hear that Chantix is working for your husband.  I couldn't take feeling sick all the time.  Thanks for the prayers.  Quitting smoking is a very hard thing to do.  Making the decision to have WLS is even harder....

Welcome Christie and Sheila (since this is the first post I've seen of yours)!

It's great to see you both come out of lurkdom! Please feel free to come on and join us in our conversations...and our activities!
