Just wanted to say hello to everyone. I'm just starting out my journey with WLS. I will be seeing my PCP June 8th to get the ball rolling. So anyways I just wanted to say hi to everyone. Hope to talk to ya'll soon! Keli - Petal

Hi Keli!! Welcome aboard. I got your email today. Please forgive me for not responding it was a really hectic day. We have monthend closeout going out so we are busy busy. We are having a WLS bash at Kamper Park on June 5th (Its a Sunday -but its all we could get..)---Would love to see you there. I will email you 2morrow about my surgeon and I will say publically that I would not trade him for anything but he only does it open and not lap. May be something to consider. I do know that you have to attend a WLS Seminar that they have once a month usually at the YMCA-- you get the packet then... No way around it. Its boring but very informative. So glad to have you aboard. Let us know if you want to come to the bash and I will post more details. Christine 275/266/156/154 110 Gone and 2 til Goal PS.. Any kin to Travis Beall?

I will prolly have tons of questions so do forgive me in advance I'd love to come and meet ya'll Sunday but I already have plans. Just my luck eh. Anyways thanks again for the warm welcome! O ya one quick question for now...how do I put up a pic on this? Keli P.S. to Christine...Travis is my husband's cousin ... I had to ask him and now he's wondering how u know him lol

I am surprised he didnt recognize the name.... He was dating my best friend but not anymore. I must admit when you emailed me this morning I called my friend and asked her what his ex wifes name was... She said Keli... I was like... Oh okay... Almost didnt ask --fear of the answer... haha... To get your picture up email it to [email protected] sure you give them your profile number and your password.

Ya I remember Kelly. We had a funny mix up at the OB/GYN. We were using the same doc and well had the same name only thing was I was pregnant at the time and well she very much wasn't so when they tried to get her ready for a prenatal visit she freaked! was quite funny. Keli
