Hi!

Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi! My name is Danielle and I am 31 years old. My family and I just moved to Meridian, MS about 5 months ago from San Diego, CA. After years of putting off getting WLS and trying to lose weight all by myself, I have decided to go forward since I seem to be going upwards on the scale. I am going to go to a seminar this Thursday in Jackson to try to get this ball rolling. Wish me luck! I look forward to getting to know all of you!

Hi Danielle! Welcome to the boards... these guys are so supportive and helpful with any questions you might have! What surgeon are you planning on using? Good luck with your seminar! Marci

I am thinking Dr. Kenneth Cleveland but I guess I will know more after the seminar thingy!

Hi Danielle, Welcome to the Mississippi Boards. I am not far from you (I see that you are from Meridian) I am from Philadelphia. I had surgury on 2-27-06 with Dr. Salameah at UMC. I have lost a total of 90 pounds already. Post often. Huggs, Joyce

Joyce, 90 pounds!!! WOW...you are a ROCK STAR! I just moved to Meridian a few months ago. Still in the process of getting settled! Good to meet you! Danielle

Kimmy, I hope to see you there! ~~~~Danielle

Nice to meet you Cindi!

Hey Danielle! Nice to meet ya! Would you happen to be going to the seminar at CMMC this Thursday?? If so, that is where I am going too. I live in Brandon... about 75 miles give or take from Meridian. All of my Mom's family live in Meridian as well! (fact, thats where I was born) So good to meet ya! Hopefully we will be at the same place on Thursday! ~kimmy

Hi Danielle, I am new to the boards also. Hoping to have surgery soon. Seminars are a great learning tool, I went to one in April. We can all learn together. Cindi
