Lookin' for a PP from Ohio

Hi! My name is Heather and I am 32. I just recently moved back home from 4 years in MN. I had the surgery up there and need a friend here to chat with. My RYN surgery was June 17th and so far I have lost 65 lbs!! Hope to hear from someone soon. Take care!! Heather

Hi Heather. Congratulations on your success! I live in northeast Ohio. Don't know if you were looking for a PP closer to home... I had RNY 9/01. Had to navigate the sea of issues post op as the support was much worse than the minimal available today. I am happy to share my experiences and lessons learned along the way. About me: I am married, mother of 2 boys (12/10). I am the ED of a small non-profit. I am 42. I am not fat. I don't think like a fat person anymore. I do not have a fear of success. I faced my old behaviors/patterns head on. For some, I may come off too strong, confident, etc., but life is too short to waste time letting things happen...I have learned to take control and make things happen. Oh yeah, 6 days a week I am completely in control of my eating/exercise, etc. 1 day a week I pig out. I have not gained weight post op (very common to gain, after year 2 BTW), and continue to lose about 2#/month. As of this AM I am 10# from my goal of 129. Started at 278. I am happy to keep in touch if you are interested. If not, no feelings hurt...I get my love at home. Karen
