Welcome Lorraine, and congrats on getting to goal and maintaining your weight. I live in Farmingdale and I go to the support group that meets at Mercy every 2nd tuesday of each month. You should come and join us if you can. We start at 7:00pm. I had my WLS on 1/17/05 with Dr Garber. I had no complications and came throught the whole procedure with flying colors I am now down 55lbs and I am half way there. I am very excited to finally be getting down to normal sizes and being able to walk w/o being winded. Once again welcome and come back often Hugs Chris

Christine, Hi My daughter moved out and took her computer so I had to get one....."New One" and I am enjoying it very much. I am no longer 0n any diabetic meds. I came off all of them 4 months post-op. It's good to know I am missed. I missed all of you guys also. Lorraine

Hi Lorraine, It's nice to see you posting again. It sounds like you are doing well. I don't post often, but I do read the board almost every day. I am losing weight, but at a slower rate then most people I see on here. Some days it bothers me, but for the most part, I am very happy. I have always been a slow loser. But this time the pounds are going to be gone forever, I will not fail. The weight is going to come off, regardless of how fast or slow. I have so much more energy, people say I am actually glowing! This is a very exciting new chapter in my life! Keep posting Lorraine, don't be a stranger! I remember you always had lots of good advise for the newly post ops. Take care. Gail

Gail, Thanks for you kind words.As long as I have this new computer I will be posting. I did not have one for 2 months. You weight loss is coming along fine. Fast or slow you are on the Losing side girl to you Lorraine
