Oldie Here and Curious (with my compliments to CMo)

Hey Guys!

I haven't been here in Forever and a day, but I'm very curious to know if any of the other...Goldtimers, Graduates, whatever we are called, are still around. I'll be updating my profile very soon, but I thought that people were most likely to recognize me and say Hi if I kept the same avatar from 2 years ago.

Anywho, Its great to see the ever-changing faces of OH. This site has always been a great source of support and wisdom. Here, together, we build people up, as the pounds go down. Hit me back....even if you don't know me yet.

Cyberhugs amigos,

There are a number of "vets" who are 5+ years out from surgery who are still around on a regular basis, and a few who are 10+ years out who are regular contributors (but many of 10+ years out just pop in and out).

Hi Lora, lover your handle BTW (****ro as in the Philosopher, right?)

I had noticed the same trend. The truth is that I really don't have many questions anymore, but what always bring me back is the sense of friendship and genuine desire to help that people always have. AND I want to be one of them too.  But that is not to say that I don't need the support myself.

Congrats on your own success and thanks for replying,

Christian

Yep, that's the ****ro!

Hi 'back atcha' Christian M.  I am 5+ years post WLS and still happy.  Thanks for 'popping in'.

Thanks Apple!  5 years out huh?  Lets see some pictures.

I remember you! Welcome back.

Gracias Batt!  I guess I've been gone longer than I thought, I can't seem to get your profile to show up.

Just had my 4 yr surgerversary.  doing great and still on the LW board daily. 

Ah yes, the Sweet-Spot years 3-7 post op.  And look at you riding horses. Awesome!

I LOVED NC, back in 2007 I holed up in a cabin in Asheville and wrote a book.  Great memories.
