IM NEW!

Im new here (kind of) and Im looking for some friends! Im in the process of getting WLS and I could really use some support. Ive been browsing profiles and you all inspire me so much. I hope to find some really great friends to share my journey with and be a supportive friend during theirs!

Hi Angela! My name is Eva. I'm 25, and a sahm to a wonderful little (erm... huge) 17 month old. Welcome to OH. What kind of surgery are you looking into having done? I'm having the lap RNY on October 11th. This is a great community, everyone has been so helpful and inspiring for me as well.

Hi angela!!!! I had lap band surgery on March 3rd and it has been one of the best things I have ever done (marrying my husband and adopting twins were the greatest!!!!) so far I have lost over 70lbs since March and 110lbs from my highest ever. Just email me if you need anything!!!! Your weight loss friend tammy

Welcome Angela! I usually "hang out" at the Lap Band Forum, but there is something for everyone at Obesity Help. Enjoy your journey! Barb H

Hi Angela - I am Sharon. I have chosen to have the RNY surgery (hopefully really soon) and will finally meet my surgeon on 9/28 to get a date for my surgery. I have been going through this process for quite a while. (I started at the Lebanon - Dartmouth Hitch**** program back in December, and have been stalled for the last 5 months I have been told that they are to busy to schedule appointments ) so I have switched to Brigham & Women's. I too love to read everyone's story... what we all have gone through is so similar although I have felt so alone in my journey... Dang, just imagine if we all got truly got together... imagine what those little skinny people would think... The best advise I can give is to keep reading. Not one of us is the same however our successes and complications can be. I am finding the more I read the less scared I am my future after the surgery. Best of luck on your journey and remember, we are all here to support one another!

Thank you all for the welcome!!! Ive felt alone for so long but its so great to meet all these amazing people who I can relate to. I too keep reading everyones pages (I cant get enough!) and I feel better the more I read. But again- thank you for being so kind and supportive! I wish you the best of luck as well!!

Hi Angela, My name is Lauren and I live just outside Worcester in Holden. I am 27 year old married Stay At Home mom of 2 great kids. I am just starting to get the process rolling on Lap-Band surgery. Feel free to check out my MYSPACE at www.myspace.com/laurenkrabb . Would love to hear from you seeing as my husband and family are not supportive in my wanting surgery and I desperatly want a friend who understands what I am going through. Hope to hear from you.
