Hey, y'all. May I come in?

I just signed on today, but couldn't find an 'introduce yourself' thread, so I hope posting here is alright.

Folks call me Belle, but there was one already registered here, so I took TxBelle as a User ID.  I live in the DFW area and have been bouncing back and forth for years about sugery as a weight-loss tool.  I'd imagine like most of you here, I've tried several tactics, won a few battles, but kept losing the war.  Grrr.  I think I've got ONE good fight left in me, so I'm looking for comrades to keep the 'You Can Do Its" coming.

Looking forward to gaining friends and losing pounds.

Welcome to the best msg board on OH!!!!

Come on it and have a seat.  Got lots of great people here and lots of great info.  Ask questions and post often!!!

Welcome to the TMB.  Jump right in with any questions.  YOu will find that we are a pretty friendly group.  Glad to have you here.

WELCOME to the best board ever. I am a Florida gal but I am having my surgery in Texas and I must say these TEXAS folks have been the best. So come on in!!!!

Welcome Belle,

The TMB is a great place to hang out.   Are you planning on a WLS or are you going to try one more time to do it yourself ???   If you are going to try it that way....you might want to go to the Non OP board.     There are some great people there.   I know quite a few there....wonderful folks and even some are from our great state of Texas.    Mary there is a Hoot !!!  She pops over here from time to time especially when Russ ( who lately seems to be MIA ) is bugging her.   LOL   Welcome and visit with us and tell us about yourself !!!!   And YES you CAN DO IT !!!!   WLS or not !!!!


Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Welcome Belle,  You've come to the right place for support and unconditional acceptance.  The TMB is great!  Good luck with as you take your "fight" to the next level.  Never say diet!

Hi Belle,
Welcome to the TMB.  It's a great place to get advice and make new friends.  Reading all the posts will help you decide if you want surgery and which kind you want.  We are all here to help so ask away.  You'll find this is a great place to be.

Blessings,
Carol
