new guy here Allen from Big Medicine

Welcome to the site.  Keep up the good work Randy

Hello Allen... Welcome! We have a celeb in the locker room, guys! I watch Big Medicine up here in Canada, and have followed your own progress with great interest....my very very best to you!! Your struggle has been great and it's so nice to see that you're making progress and getting "thin" like the rest of us!  I do realize that it's "tv" and they tape and edit for entertainment, but I do wish they'd spend more time on the "losers" and less on the folks who are after ps, but that's just my own opinion. So, Allen...keep on losing, lad. You're an "inspiration" to millions across the continent, and I will watch with great anticipation as you lose more and more and more.... Oh, and do drop by here often....we're a great bunch and there is surely support here to help when you've a question or troubles.... :-) Jim

Allen, nice to see you finally made it over. You'll love the mens boards lots of support and a kick in the ass when necessary. Look forward to seeing you get up and walk, hopefully tonight. Your story will lead alot of people to WLS and save some lives.  Good luck

welcome aboard Allen. i really liked the episode where you were dancing in your new bed! i'm sure you're going to do just fine. oh, for insperation, try reading the profiles for Dx and AJ for starters. as a matter of fact, almost everyone on this board is a miracle with a great story and even better before and after pics! good luck......Carbonblob

Hello Allen, I just found your post, so this welcome aboard is a bit tardy, but hey, the Locker Room operates on its own schedule. As the guys have indicated, this is truly wonderful place. You'll feel at home in no time and find friends you can count on. Check in regularly. We're happy you found us.
