New ObesityHelp Member Introduction (Imagine Big Smile and Wave!)

Hi Annie,

You totally read my mind!  How do you do that?  You must be a mindreader or psychic! :)  Thank you so much for offering me a ride.  My boyfriend won't be able to take me to the hospital for the information session since he will be working, and I wouldn't be able to walk over there because of my chronic back pain.  I would love it if you could pick me up Tuesday morning, June 23 to go to the weight loss surgery information session.  10:00am is fine with me.  Did you want to stick around for the information session itself or just come back to pick me up at noon to take me home?  Whichever one you prefer is fine with me :)  You can also show me the way to the room that the information session will be held in since I have no clue where it's located.

Sharon :)

Yeaaa!  I get to meet Annie too?  I'll meet you two in the lobby.  I'll be wearing pink. 
At least that is what I'm planning.  It depends on if my pink outfit makes it too the washer.

Sharon,

Welcome!  I know all about your struggles!  All of the ones you mentioned in your post!  Just know you've found a great place here to vent, rave and let out a yahoo when you need to.  Everyone here is supportive and caring.

I don't get to meet up with a lot of the people here because I live in the western part of the state and don't venture east much....but you got my support from way out here!

Good luck with your decisions and ask any questions you want.

Michelle

Hi Michelle!

Thank you so much for the warm welcome!  I feel like I'm right where I need to be.  I'm among people who completely understand what I'm going through, and I love the guidance and support that's found here on Obesity Help.

Where in Western NC is Canton?  I don't think I've heard of it before.

Sharon

Hey Sharon
 
Canton is about 15 minutes west of Asheville.  It's a little mill town...don't even know the population...I haven't lived here a year yet.  I grew up in Waynesville which is a little further west, but it's in the same county.  A lot of people know Asheville and/or Maggie Valley...I'm in between the two


Michelle

Hi Michelle,

Oh okay, I think I know where you are.  I've been to Asheville and Maggie Valley before.  What beautiful scenery you must have surrounding you!
