Just for the heck of it: how long have you been on OH?

I joined 9 days ago while in the hospital from having my surgery 10 days ago.

Wow, in 4 days it will be 14 years since I joined this site to learn about WLS. Back then I don't recall the forums being very active but I read all the profiles and learned as much as I could.
I had my first WLS in 2002 and started regaining after a few years so I pretty much "forgot" I had WLS. Unfortunately my body didn't.
I had a revision in 2010 and I started posting around then, too.
I consider myself a vet since it has been so long since I've had a normal anatomy but also a newbie since I am learning every day how to live with my new anatomy and body size.
This is the longest period of time I have gone not being obese or overweight so it's all new territory for me and I learn a lot from those who have been doing it a long time.
WLS 10/28/2002 Revision 7/23/2010
High Weight (2002) 240 Revision Weight (2010) 220 Current Weight 115.
After reading and lurking for a while I finally joined OH in February 2006, just prior to my RNY surgery in March 2006.
