Hi my sweet friend..... Yes, I know it's a LOOOONNNNNGGG time coming.

Thanks for all your sweet emails...and Private msg's....you are a DOLL!!! I still want to get together but this weather hasn't been to grand! Today Isabella and I went to the upper West....to the Chiildren's Museum. WE LOVED IT!! We went primarly to see the African Childrens Choir....they were amazing! Miss ya.... And thanks for all you've encouraged me to be.... It's my surgery-versay....I can't believe it and I'm down 143#'s.... Talk to you sooon sweetheart.... Love ya, Deborah

FemmeMode welcome! You have done so fantastic! Enjoy the boards!!!

Hi Deborah! How inspirational your loss is!!! Wowsa! I'm looking forward to reading your profile! My name is Laurie and I am still on the initial side of this journay, with my psych eval and dietician appt tomorrow. Glad you found your way here!

Thanks for the WELCOME.... (sorry I posted a response to Chelle under your's! opps~ navigational error...and I don't think I have 'editing capabilities....do I?? anyway....) I totally understand the PRE-OP place....ugh! That was 8mos long - with psyc...nutritional diet....etc.... It will all be over soon...and your date will be here! And then watch yourself - it's a FAST AND FURIOUS RIDE!!!!! Looking forward to knowing you better thru your posts....and seeing your successes!!

Your time is commin!!! you are just days away from the losers bench, right?? I can't remember you exact date...but I know it next week! Good job on your fasting....you sound like me....I was sooo determined to do "WHATEVER" my surgeon said to have the surgery - and there was NO WAY I'd sabotage my success..... That's a great attitude - it will take you very far on the other side of WLS....and will get you to MAXIMUM WEIGHT LOSS!!! I can hardly believe I've lost 143#'s in ONE YEAR!!! (Today is my surgiversary!) Can't wait to see how well you succeed!! Thanks again for the WELCOME.... Deborah~ Lap RNY - 4/19/06 333/190/150

Your defiantly an inspiration. Like Chelle said you'll love this board...I'm addicted. Congrats on you surversary and your amazing loss!!! -Nicole

It's been a CRAZY & WONDERFUL Year..... I'm excited about settling here on the OH board.... I don't think I need another computer forum to be addicted to...but I'm looking forward to meeting new people...and having another avenue for questions to be answered and share what I've learned!

WOOWOO! How awesome you've done! This is a great place to be. I have found so much support here, even over the one support group I've visited through my journey. Welcome!

I've loved my "other" online WLS support group... W/O them I don't know if I would've made it thru! OH always seemed soooo HUGE to me, and I was a little 'scared' to try to figure it all out...but my girlfriend LisaMarie....gave me some pointers and helped me a bit... If you know her - you know how INCREDIBLE she is!! (gotta love that girl!) And she pointed me to the New York board - saying y'all were the BEST!!! Thanks again for the WELCOME... Looking forward to getting to know you thru your posts Cheryl... Deborah~ Lap RNY - 4/19/06 333/190/150 "Loving life...and living it powerfully!"
