Introduction

Hi Everybody, My name is Isha and I live in Oregon and I just now found this board. I don't think I have been on here before! I had my WLS on 3/7/05 and so far I have lost 144 pounds in the past 8 months. I had an open duodenal switch with Dr. McConnell at OHSU. You can read my profile to find out more about me but I thought I would say HEY and maybe meet some local people who had WLS. Best wishes to you and yours Isha 366/222/220-170 sw cw gw's www.duodenalswitch.com Eat Normal & Lose weight!

Welcome Isha! It is just so gratifying to read your profile and know that someone else shares this thing called "WLS success". I still can hardly believe that I did something so huge in my life, and that the results payed off so well. Isn't the change most wonderful in relation to your kids and how much more able you are to do the things you want with them? Your progress is amazing! Congratulations. Patty
