The 1st to POST!!

Well, if anyone gets around to finding this message board...HOLA! I am Mexican-American. I would like to see others post. I know I'm not alone...come out come out where ever you are.

Hola Elisa, I am Cuban. I am scheduled for my surgery on 1/24. I am so happy this board is finally up and running. Hopefully this will take off. Hope to see you again soon on this board. Hugs, Rosa

HI Rosa!! I thought no one was ever going to find me here . I see your surgery is very soon. CONGRATULATIONS!! I wish you nothing but the best on your weight loss journey. p.s. I hope we get more people posting on here too. Elisa

Hola Elisa, I think I will post on the other boards I go to and let them know that if there are any latinos or latinas around to come see us. Maybe then we will have more folks here. I'm glad you are still around! Hugs, Rosa

Saludos para toda mi gente!!! I hope everyone is fine. My name is Vanessa and I am Chicana. I live in Washington State and my surgery date is not yet scheduled. I know this much....it will be at the end of August 2006. Glad that is forum is active lets make some more amigos y amigas!!!! Take care now.

Hi Vanessa!! Was this board here before? I'm not sure since I've only been on OH since August and I only knew about a few boards then. Anyways, glad to see people posting. Elisa

Great idea Rosa, thanks for doing that. It's already working, looks like we got two more friends posting.

Hola Hi, I am from Puerto Rico, my surgery was on January 2005. Right now I am in Wiesbaden, Germany. My GI JOE is serving in Iraq. I am glad we have this board now cause. Aqui puedo hablar español Hugs From Germany Vanessa

HI Vanessa! Your our first POST-OP! Welcome! I know what you mean about being glad to speak spanish. Porque aveces cambio de ingles a español cuando estoy hablando con mis amigas. It's natural for us to do that. Now I'm glad I can do it and you guys will get it. Wow your so far away!! (((Hugs))) Btw, how do you feel about your decision to have the surgery? Any regrets? I go in for mine on the 13th of Feb. Any advice? Thanks, Elisa
