Let's get this thing back on track

I've not been posting or on much, but  this second surgery kicked my @$$!  This one let me know they were in there!  I missed the drama when I was in the hospital or at work. I doubt we could all meet and click... we can all be civil and support each other with what we all learn in our journey. I think we have a great board and support team! I just wish I was closer to the coast! Dammit, I wanna meet people too!   lol Hugs

I so agree about keeping this board positive and supportive. Last week, my shop was slow, so I had more time to read and post- this week things have been pure chaos and I have had no time- not even to lurk. I , personally, feel ANYONE and EVERYONE who is seeking support- pre-op, during surgery, post-op or 5 yr later are always welcome here! We all have our individual story and we all have the capicity to share and support. When I drop out of sight for a few days or a week or so- its simply a reflection of my business being good....very good. Love ya'll! Couldn't have made it this  far without you! And the October Beach get together is just around the corner! Sheila

I want to hear what everyone has to say. I does not matter if you are 10 mins out of surgery for 10 years. This weight loss thing for me will be a problem for the rest of my life and I will need help and advice from many stages of your success or troubles.  What you have already been through will help me and others. Also I hope all can get help and support in return. I have already learned a lot. I wish I had more to give back. Hopefully some of my crazy questions will answer questions for ones which are afraid to ask. I am one of the newer ones but I am proud of all which are here, whether you are just starting the wls journey like me or close to or At Goal.  It takes a lot of guts to change the anatomy of your body to gain a better  lifestyle and healthier body.  Let's GET'ER'Done!!!!!  Stick together and support each other......we all come from similar problems... My sermon is over sorry I got carried away! God Bless, Myrtis

Myrtis,

Tell it sister! 

A Big Amen for Mrytis sermon! Well said! Sheila

Stacey,  I think things are getting back to normal and on the positive side of things!  I've only been posting for about 2 months but I need ya'll also.  You're right we do all need the support from out fellow WLS'ers and I hope things continue to get better.  Try to keep focused on our goals and keep our heads held high with a positive outlook, that's my goal!   Take care of yourself and welcome back to the posting side!!!

Boy, without ya'll, I honestly don't think I would have made it this far.  There's been so many questions and concerns already that I have had answered or at least validated- and I'm only a month post-op!  Yikes!  What would I do way out in the boondocks without this board and my sisters and brothers here?????????????????????????  Love you ALL, Nancy ps-  not to mention everyone needs more friends!!!

Yep- Nancy- to the new friends and long lost sista ( you know who you are!!!) And, as we proved at Mare's house last week ( WHERE, oh where is Mare????), lots of laughter to be shared also! Everyone have  a great weekend! Sheila

Hey Stacie, It's me, Diane Fowler, and I did return.   Gigi is what my grands call me.  23 represents "to 3":  I have 3 grandchildren.  Things have really mellowed out on the board!  We are a unique family here with so much to share.  I am so glad to see folks like Amy Jo come back because we need her probably more than she needs us!  We are human and (yes) even I make mistakes, or misread things.  However, I do tend to learn from my boo-boo's, thank the Lord.  Speaking of whom, I need to get rolling off to church.  Good to see you again.  Please keep posting. Love, Dianef
