Hi Lynda,    THE EMAIL ADDRESS YOU GAVE IS NOT VALID SO I AM REPLYING HERE, SORRY NOT YELLING I TYPE IN CAPS, LOL

I do apologize for just now getting back to you. No excuse I do still hope you wish to be my pen pal.  

I would love to read from you your personal story about your journey to wls and everything after since you had it in 2003.

In a nut shell I had Gastric ByPass Surgery on  a Monday, August 22nd 2011.

I fought for my Life for a yr and a half.  I weighed 267lbs - 277lbs at time of surgery.  Super fast i got down to 145lbs.  That was bad because i looked like a skeleton.

I am healthier in many ways but struggling with my Nutrition and making exercise a priority.

I welcome any and all advice, tidbits and jokes and whatever serious or silly things you wish to share.

I will tell you more once you reply and we can keep corresponding to each other.

I hope you are having a great week so far, thanks for your message to me on OH.com.

Hi Stephanie,

I am looking for friends who had GB. A little bit about me had GB in 2010 I was 346 at time of surgery. My lowest weight was 215 not even close to goal. I'm struggling with getting my pouch to work and just want some encouragement from friends in the life. I hope to hear from you soon.
