Hi all! I'm new to this forum too. I received my pre-op appointment dates today & can hardly wait until next Thursday to begin this journey. I find comfort in knowing I'm not the only 50+ doing this.  Thanks in advance for the support. Linda

Hi Linda: Let me be the first to welcome you, because everyone else seems to be asleep! I'm the resident night owl because I work at night. Welcome to OFF (Over Fifty Forum). You are now an OFF sister. We have a couple brothers here too. We're a lot of fun. Glad you could join us.  You are embarking on a great journey. I'm nearly four years out, have lost 180 pounds and kept most of it off (I bounce up and down about 3 pounds from my goal.) I love showing my before picture to people I don't know ... they can't believe I was once 347 pounds.  Good luck to you!

Eileen: Thanks for the welcome!  I am happy to be a "sister". I am so anxious to get started & to garner wisdom from those of you who have gone before me.

Welcome to OFF, Linda. This is the cream of the crop here and everyone is so full of love and knowledge. They are willing to share whenever they can be of help. Please post often so we can get to know each other. Enjoy your journey because it is a wonderful trip to be sure. You are in for life changes and they are great. I have done nothing but love my journey. If you have any questions please feel free to ask away since we love to share our experiences and ouor strength and hope too.

                        that tells what kind of life you have lived.
