Hello....anyone out there?

Friend me on facebook and I will invite you to join...

yea there are still new people learning about the whole process. hopefully we can help them. hope you are feeling better!

still a bit sore in the tummy when I sneeze or cough... at least I can laugh now without pain.

and standing up straight is still a PITA  but all in all I'm doing much better.


seems I have a bigger pouch since the ulcer repair...

Hi Nicole,

I come around every so often to see if someone needs any support and I will respond.  I have tried a few times to post hopefully to get some responses so that people can get support.  Unfortunately it is goin to take some time and energy to get support out here for those *****ally need it.  I know I need it, I always do. 

I hope all is well with you.

very true, support is always needed! hopefully we can be there for each other more. hope you are well!

Yes, I am hoping that  we all get everyone interested to come and join us here.

I am doing a lot better than before thank you.  Just can't wait to getting back to 100%

Nicole, good to see you posting. I left this board because I was being trashed for no reason. I did not bother anyone but some people did not like things I said. It was amazing how so many posted here but I was the one certain people did not approve of. What a place to get support. I will never forget finding this board. I was so happy & felt for the 1st time in my life accepted. Wow did that change fast. I was judged because I did not have WLS , then I was diagnosed as being bipolar among other things. I just got hurt again & then the backstabbing began. It got worst when certain people had others not talk to me and even ignore me. I always tried to encourage & support others.  I hope others can find all the help they need in making the wls choice. Hope you are doing well. Julie

thanks for replying julie. sorry that happened to you!

i am doing pretty good but struggling to make some serious changes to my diet. i do well for a couple weeks then sabotage myself. very frustrating. i think it is partly hormonal but i think it is my mind as well. i guess you just gotta keep trying.

Hello All-

Im a newbie- just had my RNY on 07-25-11- I posted an intro in the RNY group and the mens group so I wont bore you all with it here- but I was hoping that some Maryland folks would be here to talk to- but I guess regional differences dont matter as much as procedure and gender so I wont feel TOO bad that theres not much here- LOL.  But whatever role I can play in helping to spark it back up- Im certainly willing (thats easy for me to say given that, at this point, Id probably be more of a taker than a giver in terms of support- LOL) but never the less, Ill keep checking back and seeing if anythings going on and try to fan the flames. 

Just curious- what could possibly have gone on before in terms of drama that would have torn that MARYLAND group asunder ? LOL- I mean was it providers versus providers or ??? I mean I guess I get people fighting over which procedure you had (When I first joined- the DS people used to harass me trying to get me to cancel my RNY date and get a DS and that was kind of annoying)- but o ther than that- what could there possibly be to fight each other about ? Id be interested to hear......

Otherwise- God bless and hope all are well- I look forward to this journey with yall !! 

Welcome to the board.

while I can't speak for others I think it's just better to leave the past in the past and move forward with rebuilding a local support area....
