Hi Cheryl! I'm Lou I live in Springfield. I had surgery in Columbia MO.  Congradulations on your surgery date! Its so exciting.  You will love this board.  I found it from a friend that had surgery and when I started to get into it having it myself I was full of
questions.  Everyone answered all my questions and has been very helpful.  I am 3 weeks post op and this surgery has been the VERY best thing I've done for myself. Best of luck on your liquid diet and if you have ANY questions just ask, everyone will jump on to get them answered. Nice to meet you! Lou (~.~)

Hi Cheryl, great to meet you and hope you tell us all about yourself...married? Single? Kids? Where in our great state are you?
We absolutely love having newbies join our group and we try to love each other thru anything going on in your life....so welcome and stick around and pipe in alot!

Im in Clever, right out side of Springfield.... and again, welcome!

Thanks so much for introducing yourselves. So many people answered. On another site I used during one of my weight loss attempts almost noone answered most posts.
I am 51, married and an empty nester. I live in Blue Springs Missouri which is about 20 miles east of Kansas City. I work as a nurse so I really understand how unhealthy my weight has been. Not to mention how physical the work is and how much my joints hurt every day.
My husband is very supportive but my mother is skeptical because she knows people who have ended up gaining all of their weight back. I told her I would not let that happen.

By the way.... How do I do a profile?
