Newbie Here...Hello Fellow LGBT

Hello!

My name is Jamie... I am a 38 yr old male living in Atlanta, Ga.   I am a blue eyed, brown hair, 6ft3 , beard (it's new) and currently weigh 315pds.  My surgery is scheduled for May 2009.  I used to think I was lucky, because I could carry my weight well because of my height... well, guess what...my weight caught up.

I'm here to meet fellow lapband (and other type of surgery!) peeps and to maybe make a new friend or two.  How does that sound?   

I'm sure I am going to have a TON of questions for all of you who have had surgery already... help me make this journey?

Let's chat!?   Say hello!

Welcome Jamie,

Glad you joined us. This is the best place on OH. We have a lot of fun and there is a lot of advice and support. Hope you post often!

Jeff

THANKS JEFF!  I appreciate the support!

Hello fellow lapbander! Welcome to the party! The more the merrier! Everyone is so friendly and helpful here. I haven't been on OH for a month yet but am so glad I found it! My surgery is late March. Looking forward to exchanging experiences. It's the J it's the A it's the MIE! LOL

Hey there!   You are fun!  :)

Thanks for the support !   Good Luck with everything in March!!!

hi guy..ask away...you take a great pic...

Thanks man, I appreciate it!!!
I'll be sure to talk you up on that sometime!  ;)

Welcome! This is the best li'l place on OH.

As a sleever, I have to say, I was totally prepared and somehow absolutely clueless at the same time. There is just nothing to prepare you for what a postop 'sip' really means. Or for what 'full' is. Just a bizarre, surreal, but cool experience.

Thank you so much!!!!  I can't imagine being full...ever.

Welcome Jamie. I've only been here a very short time myself but this is home now. I'm 4 months out from RNY and doing well. Each of us here has had a unique experience but all together it feels like family with lots of support and good advice. I hope you'll make this home too and jump right in.
