Hello! New here

Just wanted to say a big hello to my fellow Michiganders.

My husband and I are looking into WLS for him. I am also very overweight (335 pounds), but surgery is not an option for me due to lack of insurance. My husband does have the insurance to cover his surgery though (when that happens).

I posted a blog to introduce is more indepth so you don't have to wade through a bunch of reading here hehe.

Anyway, I'm 32, my husband is 33 and we're from the Grand Rapids area. Nice to meet everyone!

Hello there!!!!

Hi Mel,
Welcome to the board.  You and DH (dear husband) are sure to learn a lot here.  Don't be afraid to ask questions.

You are both getting ready to start a big journey...lots of changes are in store for everyone!

Hello!

What you'll find here on OH is that almost everyone here regards WLS as the best thing that they have ever done for themselves. It's a great place to find information and do your research.

Welcome aboard,

Hi Melanie & Welcome from another West Michigander!
Good luck to your DH!

Hello and welcome!

Welcome

Even though surgery may not be an option right now for you, follow his lead.  Help walk the walk and talk the talk.  My Dear Hubby has lost 30-35 pounds since my surgery. 

Best of luck

Hi Melanie,
I have not been on this site in years and found you today.  what serendipity. 
I had RNY almost four years ago.  Am still not a skinny thing.  Gained 20 pounds back which is why I came back to the site.  But it is the best thing that happened to me for my health. 
How do I get to your blog?
