Hello everyone, my name is Quintaneda but everyone calls me Q (for obvious reasons). Just a little about me, I am 25 single black female no children and I live in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. Now to the real reason I'm here....I have decided that I want to have WLS and I have been leaning toward having the VSG. Wednesday Oct 30 ,2013 I have my first consultation, I'm so nervous you would think it was the day of surgery. I have been lurking on here reading updates, NSV's (my favorite posts), and pretty much anything that you all post. You all are the most supportive individuals I've never met. I really don't have much of a support system but when I get on here and read all of your inspiring words it makes me feel like we are one giant family looking out for each other and I am thankful for you guys being here. That's all I really have for now if you have any questions for me feel free to ask.

It  nice here.  They are building a big Golden Nugget that will open about next summer.  I'm up a little $, so I am taking it and running!

 

 

Bon Voyagee!

 

Good Morning Everyone,

Well....the weekend has finally arrived....or will be in a few short hours.   Hope everyone is planning a great weekend.    We ALL have so very much to be grateful for everyday.    We have NO guarantees of being on this earth another minute...so we should be grateful for everything that comes our way in life.    Today I am grateful for my friend who told me about WLS.   I had no idea anything like WLS even existed.  She came to visit and I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw her....I watched her reach her goal and she encouraged me to seek WLS which I did and the rest is history.   I am SO grateful for my friend even though we only talk a couple of times a year.    Grateful for all the support and encouragement that I have received during this WLS journey...both here on OH and in support groups.    SO very grateful for the 3 support groups that I attend every month including my own.    Grateful for OH and all the work that they put into this website and into their OH Conferences.   I've missed them the last 2 yrs. due to the distance from my home in Texas.      Grateful for everyone *****ads and responds to my posts.    Have a blessed and safe weekend.   PLEASE share if you will what you are grateful for today.

 

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Goo morning, Don.  Working weekends would not be fun.  I work today until 3:00, then I am off with a friend to L'auberge du lac to spend the night.  To Orrin we head to Beaumont early afternoon for our varsity football game, then home after that.

 

Hope everyone has a fun weekend planned.
