Jaycee -- You are more than welcome to stay here, to participate in open discussions, to glean what knowledge you can, share your experiences, reach out for support (and we'll be here), or whatever you seek to find from any OH forum -- No one has even remotely hinted that you were not welcomed here -- no one has asked you to refrain from posting here -- however, your presence here has aroused suspicions - and with what this group has suffered through very recently - you could say we are on "red alert" for a new round of agitations. If you are legitimate, please tell us something about yourself... i.e., Age, Height, Weight, Current Struggles, Weight issues for your entire life or only during adult years? Are there any questions you have regarding WLS that you would like for us to answer? Is there anything any of us can do to help YOU through your journey? Is there anything you would like to know about us? We're a very open group -

Welcome I hope you will chat with us next time! Lindy

Welcome again Jaycee! I hope things will turn out in your favor as far as your surgery and personal struggles. WLS is the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. It took me over 5 years to make up my mind. Even now......9 months later and 108 pounds gone, i sometimes wonder if I did the right thing......but that's just some old demon that I still fight....second guessing myself in every thing I do , You are welcome here and I look forward to getting to know you better! Hugs, Kim

I read the posts for today and I appreciate the caring acceptance that several of you expressed in your posts. I hope that means I can participate in your group. I know that I would benefit from the personal growth some of you seem to have gone through because of your struggles. If you would rather I pick another group, it is okay. I don't want to ruin the 'safe haven' you have built here. I have experienced rejection in many areas of my life and I don't need it here. Thank you. Jaycee

Hi Kim! Sorry I missed you guys last night! I couldn't log into the Java Consule to get into the chat room and then our network went down and I spent a little while trying to get it back up last night then just gave up. It finally came back up at 7:30 this morning! I so wanted to chat with you guys! Let schedule another one soon! Gail
