i guess you dont like people from IN

i put up a post the other day asking to talk to people from OH because it is so close .. i got no responce . sorry for bugging you all . i guess ill just stick to the IN message board ... happy weight loss to you all Cheri from fort wayne IN

Cheri, You are more than welcome to the board. We are not always on here. I felt that way when I started. It isnt like that. Just post your thoughts. We all read them. . Please come back. Barb

Hi Cherie. I have to say that this is a great board! I rarely post but always read. Keep in mind that you had a fobi pouch and I believe many - probably most - of the folks here had regular RNY. Also, I think by the time you get to the plastics stage and are a couple years out from surgery you are more in the minority of posters. I am finding that most people tend to post very regularly before and just after surgery but the further out they get the less they post. I saw that you were asking about plastics. I have a feeling that there just weren't any people on-line that are at the same stage and really able to answer. I hope you will give this board another chance. There are truely some fantastic people here. Good luck in journey! Shellie

I don't think everyone here excludes people from other states. Give them some time. Jeanie

Cheri give us some time. Welcome to the board. I have not been on for a few days. Just very busy. Nice to meet you. Richard

yes like Richard said, give us time.. we're friendly.. hang around we'll grow on ya !

hi cheri in indiana... my name is angie in ohio and i just joined this messageboard thing, and i don't know anyone on here either. i'm sorry if your feelings were hurt from not receiving any messages, mine would be too. just wanted to say hello. angie

welcome!

Nice to meet you Angie. I come on and read a lot but dont have a lot of time to post. Then one day you will see me on a lot more. LOL. I too just wanted to say Hello. Richard

Welcome Angi and Cheri. I for one Welcome you both with OPEN arms..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This group saved my life litterally when I found myself going through my surgery with no family support. I dont know what I would have done without complete strangers accepting me into their loving hearts and helping me through some tough times. I went through a very severe/suidical almost depression post op for a few weeks. These folks here were ready to travel and physically be with me, a complete stranger and help me through it. So please Please Please give us all another chance. I havent been on much because I am working 3 jobs right now to try and keep my utilities on and hope to buy a few Christmas presents. But I read the posts every day as I am multitasking. Eating breakfast, putting on makeup and checking mail. So dont ever think you are not being heard. We are here!!!! And by the way I love Indiana. Spent a lot of time camping and hiking at Clifty Falls State Park. I have so many beautiful memories of being there. Big Hugs From a Carazy Ohio Chickie.
