Hello everyone from Pomona NY

Hello everyone,  Took me a lil time but I found you!  I have been all over the OH site looking for the New York crowd and then to find the message board.. o****all me "challenged"  LOL but I'm here!  I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow.  I'm just so happy to have someone to talk to that has been through this already.  I not only don't have family here but I really don't know many people in NY.  I just got married last Nov. and moved here from Calif.  Its been an adventure for sure and now WLS  wow.. its alot... I started to feel overwhelmed and a little down until I read all your posts and profiles etc.  Very encouraging and helps me to know that I'm on the right track. I had the Lap Band on Aug. 3, 2007.  As of today(Sun) I am down 28 lbs.  I was worried that I wasn't losing enough, but now I see that is a good avg.  Time to just relax and enjoy the ride?  lol  I have to admit.  its not all that fun, but its wonderful to finally be doing something about my weight!  and to know this is a life change thats forever!    So just want to give you all a heads up!  I will probably be posting and asking lots of questions and possibly even whinning from time to time.    I missed my first support group meeting last Thursday, which would have been a great forum to do the wah wah thing.. so now its  on you guys lol I am looking forward to getting to know you all and hope to be of encouragment in return.   Lovinit, Sandra P.S.. where's the spell check?
