Introductions--Roll Call--Sound Off
Hi All:
My name is Jan K. and I live near cleveland in Aurora, home of Geauga Lake Amusement Park! I'm 54 yr old and had my surgery At St. Vincent Charity Hospital on 4/14/04. So far I've lost 77 lbs. My surgeon was Dr. Ben Meir, who I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone.
I was so glad to see so many responses..It's nice to get to know everyone a little better.
My favorite thing to do this summer, well that's a hard one, because losing this weight has opened a whole new world to me..but going on the rides at Geauga lake this past weekend, with my Grandchildren, was just so much fun! To not worry about "fitting" was a joy! To be able to walk around the park for 8 hours without getting tired, and being able to see what fun the kids were having was priceless!
And Jan R. from parma, you are NOT the only nite owl!

Hello everyone,
My name is Venita. I live in Mansfield,( northcentral Ohio).
I had Open rny at Barix Center, in Groveport, on January 21, 2004. Dr. Victor Stelmack was my surgeon. He is fantastic. I have lost close to 100lbs. My pre-surgery weight was 384.
Cheryl, I was at the WVA OH meeting as well. I had a very nice time and it was wonderful to get to meet and socialize with other WLS folks.
I also participated in a Meet and greet from the BAF forum in Atlanta, two weeks ago. I'd say, that was the favorite activity that I participated in this summer. I took a few days vacation and drove to Atlanta with a girlfriend. We also visited family in Alabama on the way home.
Cheryl, I am excited for you about your weight loss... and it gives me hope that I will be able to also loose 200 lbs. by the time I am 1 yr. out..
I am so hoping!
I was planning to attend the Detroit event as well. Sorry it's cancelled!
I look forward to getting to know you all on this site.... and hello to all the other night owls!
