This forum is the greatest!

Hi everyone. My name is Denise and I have been prowling this forum for awhile unannounced. Everyone here is so great. Very supportive and fun! I am still waiting for a surgery date. Hopefully it will be in June or early July. I have completed all of my three month requirements. I have been poked and prodded and analyzed. With a bmi of 59, I am glad to see others like myself who are on this journey and look forward to a long and beneficial relationship with all of you great folks, who never take yourself too seriously. Just what I need. I just finished reading the "Shaving Legs" thread. What a riot...and so true. Thanks for your support and your humor! Denise

Welcome aboard... This is a very supportive group of women... (sorry if I've left any of you men out..)

WELCOME Denise!  You are about to embark on one helluva ride....how exciting that you will soon be on the losers bench with the rest of us. Yes this board is a terrific mix of people who have been through the best and worst of WLS. Keep us updated on your progress and surgery date when you get it OK?  Glad to have you join us!  Jeanine

Thank you Jeanie and Lisa, I have been watching this board so long, I fell I already know you all.

Welcome Denise, I'm glad you decided to announce yourself and I hope you get your surgery date soon! 

Denise, we have a good time here, but there's also tons of support.  It's wonderful to be surrounded by women all across the US who are going through our same battle or maintaining their loss.  There's great knowledge here.  Welcome!

Hi Denise, Welcome to the board.  Everyone here is so nice and supportive.  I have only been here for a couple of weeks and love it too!!!  It's great to talk to people who are going thru/have gone thru what your feeling!!!  Good luck with getting a surgery date!!!  There's always room for one more on the losers bench!! Caroline

Welcome to the best board on OH IMHO. I just had surgery 4 weeks ago and let me tell you I could not have done it without the lovely ladies of this board.

Welcome Denise, Out of all the boards here at OH this one is especially wonderful.  It can be very depressing to read posts on the regular boards about people losing 100 lbs. and they are done.  It is great news and wonderful accomplishment however, when you have over 250 lbs. or more to lose it makes, at least in my case sad.   Enjoy your time here and best wishes and luck to you on your journey.
