New member here....hello all

Hello and very nice to meet you all.  I had laproscopic Roux N Y Gastric bypass 8-4-05 and the day of surgery I weighed 275 pounds, for 1 yr before surgery I dieted and lot 85 pounds on my own.  My heaviest was 380 pounds.  The day I had surgery was an emotional day for me as I'm sure it was and will be for many of you.  I am now 3 plus years out and I have had my trials and tribulations for sure.  I lost all of my excess plus some within the first yr.  In one year I went from 275 to 135, I was underweight for a while, but I have managed to find a happy place.  I weigh currently 150 pounds and I'm 5 foot 9 inches tall.  I have added a ton of pics in 3 different albums to show my progress.  Take a look see please....I'm more than happy to try an answer any questions you might have.

Hi Robin,
Welcome to the board, glad you are here.  Congratulations on your WLS success, I enjoyed the pix and I love the pink hair.  LOL  You are totally a new person, don't look anything like you did.  Look forward to seeing you hanging around.

 Thank you so much for the welcome.  I was a member of another weight loss board, but MSN is closing there groups in Feb. so I thought I would find a new place of support.  Even after 3 yrs I feel I occasionally need support from my peers.  We help each other in more ways than one.   I do feel like a different person, lol I like having fun with the colors in my hair.

Welcome to the board. You've done well!

 I would like to thank you all for the wonderful welcome..  The weight loss group I am currently a member of is closing in Feb., so I'm trying to find a new support system.  Even at 3 yrs out I still find myself needing support whether it's just that reminder...Take your Vits.!!!    The only major problem I have had since surgery was attack of the gallbladder, which I did have removed this past April.  Thanks again for the welcome and I look forward to staying a while.

Hello Robin. Welcome to the board. You have done great and are looking wonderful. Hope to see you more often.

Welcome Robin!

You'll find quite a few people here are a few years out from surgery.  From your pics and words, you have done great!  We welcome you with open arms!  I'm just jealous of the pink hair!  OK, I'm just jealous of hair!  LOL!!
