Just saying HI

Hi guys. Jeff here from Jacksonville FL. Just thought id stop in and introduce myself. Thanks Dx for the link here.  Surgery date is 9/14 (lap band). Cant wait for it (I think).

      Welcome to the men’s locker room Jeff, what I think is the best damn board here on OH. There are a great bunch of guys here on this board ranging from pre-ops to guys with many years post-op. They will tell you like it is because they have been there and done that. I know I have learned a bunch from the guys. Also no topic is taboo we share it all. I have been so inspired by the men’s board I trained through OH to become a certified support group leader in my state, and created a men’s only support group and named it the men’s locker room. So Jeff welcome aboard.

Jeff, Glad you clicked the link! Look around and jump on in. It's a bit like an All-Request-Station... Only as good as the questions asked... Hope you find all of the info, Experience and suuport That this bunch has to offer! Best Wishes- Dx

Welcome man.  Dx been pimpin the board again.  He is the man.  Best of luck to you in the comming weeks. Scott

Thanks for the welcomes guys. Ive been slogging around the site tonight and it looks pretty good. Seems that most all had the RNY surgery (unless your all republicans from ny..LOL) Who else had the lap band? (besides cargoman).  Just a short bio: current weight, 420 lbs. Goal: 200 lbs. 52 yrs old. Been using sick leave from work like a fiend. My legs just dont want to carry me anymore. Hopefully this surgery will do the trick if I use it properly.  Jeff
