I haven't been posting as much and had extra time this morning, so I went back and read some old post.  I have noticed that some people have left.  I too feel that this site isn't what it was when I first started using it.  I noticed that a few people came in and things changed.  This site used to be so great.  I couldn't wait to log on every morning to see the posts, get support, and offer support.  Let's all start over.  Forget the tension and negativity that has been going on.  I need you guys to stick around and help me when I have my surgery in December.  We need each other.  Yeah, our families support us, but not the same way we can support each other.  I hope some of the ones who have left will come back.  Um.....Diane Fowler......please come back......Ellen, I understand you have so much going on, but please when you have time, post.  I will get better about posting too.I miss you guys.

Hi Stacie -

I too miss the active board we once had. It's been disappointing to log on and hardly see any new posts in days, much less hours.

Good news ... Diane Fowler is here ... She's just changed her name; now you will recognize her a GiGi!

I hope that you will be coming to the breakfast Sept. 8th. I'd really love to meet you ... face-to-face!

Keep posting. If we all keep trying, we'll get there.

I will try to come.  That is the day after my birthday.  I will look for the time and location and try hard.  I haven't made it to any of the meetings yet.  I usually have to care for my mom on Saturdays.  I take her to the beauty shop and out to eat.  I will try very hard.  I want to meet you too.  Take care!

Apparently, you did not read the most recient posts... Diane is back, and has been.  We are all doing just great, all that negative talk is gone.  Done and over with.  We have moved on. This site is still great!!!  We had a rough patch and it has been smoothed out.

Nope, as I said I haven't had time to read all of the posts.  I will try to get better about that.  Good job on your weight loss.  Take care.

I think it is a freaking shame people are scared to post. I have been fried so much I am toasty.............I agree with you about the board. I have been told I should not be on here because I am 2 years out. Well hell..........I still need support.............more than most people that is not even a year out. I have met some wonderful people on here that reallly do care.........So to all the meanies Amy

Amy,  I am 5 years out and I will continue to come on the NC board, I am a North Carolina girl and this is home to me.  There are a lot of us who are more than a year out, we need support just as much as anyone and we can help each other.  Please don't feel like you can't post!  I have only been posting about 2 months but have met some wonderful supportive people...  It's been great meeting some of them in person and I look forward to more of that, I think it's important that we stick together and help each other! Have a great Labor Day weekend!!!!!
