AHH! My updated picture!!

Surprise! I now have the newest "ME" on the messageboards! This was taken after losing 60 pounds. I am now down 70 pounds, but the wrinkles are killin' me!!! I am so grateful for this surgery and my second chance at life! Thanks volunteers!! Joy

Joy, You look great! Annette V

Thanks Annette! I feel great, too! Joy

Joy: You look wonderful!! I am pre-op and have lost 126 lbs and 40 plus inches total all over, I go to LA fitness 5-6 days a week, even if it is just for 30 minutes, I am atleast getting my cardio in. I have a little ways to go before my surgery, but I am working on it. Peggy

Thanks, Peggy! My goodness! You are really doing a wonderful job losing weight. Keep up the good work and the motivation. I wish you all the best! Joy

Hi Joy. You look great! What a difference 70 lbs makes! Hey, we still need to get in touch with each other and figure out if we want to start a support group. Peg

Peg! I was just thinking about you. Yes! I'm ready to get together whenever you are. It will be great to actually meet you! Thanks, Joy

Joy you look awesome in your new picture! As far as support groups go, there is one at Good Sam in Portland once a month. One for bypass and one for band. The December one is a combined christmas meeting on Dec 11th I believe. After that it is once a month, I can get the schedule for you.

Thanks Dayna! I have a support group at Kaiser. Peggy was looking for something. Now we are thinking of starting a weekly group somewhere. Best wishes!! Joy
