Michigan RNY patient from 7/19/05 seeking some friends & support...
Hi Stacey,
Congrats on the weight loss, that is so wonderful! I just had my WLS 5 and a half weeks ago.
Just like the others have said you have come to the right place. Everyone here is so sweet and helpful. They have been here for me since day one.
I am also just a hop, skip, and a jump from you. I live in Hope and incase you don't know where that is it is between Sanford and Edenville.
Well, best of luck with everything and remember we are here when you need us!

You all are awesome people, kind and generous, and so giving of yourselves.
I am in awe at how so many of you have responded to my post, that it brought tears to my eyes to see how many people are nearby, had the same surgery, even the same surgeon, and already, making a remarkable difference in my life.
I look forward to meeting many of you in person, and hopefully gaining the support in which I lack in my life. I won't lie to you, I have been going it alone since surgery. So to be here, now, I owe a HUGE thanks to RAE, and she knows who she is. She referred me here. Because of her, my life has changed, and transformed my sadness into joy so fast, that I am literally doing cartwheels around my house.
I thank you all for your words of encouragement, hellos, welcomes and phone calls and emails. This means the world to me.
All my very best,
Stacey
Hi Stacey, I am really sorry to hear about your father, I to am having to deal with some very severe family health issues so I totally understand what a trying time it can be.
As far as your surgery, sorry you haven't had a lot of support, its tougher that way but it sounds like you have been doing great in spite of it all. Congratulations on your weight loss to this point.
I am a little over 2 years out and I can tell you that you will still experience some pretty exciting times even at these longer post op times.
Welcome to the board and as the others have also mentioned, you will find all sorts of support, friendship, encouragement, and information here.
Take care and God bless!
Beth
