Thursday Roll Call
Tammi,
Welcome and congratulations! Sounds like you're making good progress with your exercise and post surgery. As to your nervousness, many of "us" have suffered from some degree of social anxiety in affiliation with our obesity, so it's not surprising that you have nervousness around meeting a new group, even virtually. But don't worry - we've all been through it.
I'd like to invite you to also meet many of us in person if you can get to any of our events. The next cooking class will be June 12th at my home in doylestown, pa from noon until 4 or 5-ish. We also have support groups at Barix in Langhorne that are open to all - no matter who your surgeon, what your surgery type, or where you are in the process (pre-, post-, or long-timer). First Saturdays are 11 - 1:30 for all, pre-surg is second Tuesday evening from 7- 9, and post-surg is third wednesday evening from 7 - 9. All of these events are completely free.
Welcome!
Karen

Hi Tammi - I am Steffi - the resident nutcase here on the boards. I am so glad that you joined us today. Keep lurking and posting and it will become, what we all hope, a constant source of friendship and support. I have gotten through soooo many difficult and wonderful things over my last 15 months due to the amazing people I have met through this forum. (And - on a PERFECTLY egotistical note - of which you will find - also me! - you had your surgery on my birthday) AND although SOME people may NOT believe this - I am thrilled to share such a wonderful day with you!
Welcome to the family and congrats on your surgery! :)
