Introduction

Hello everyone.  I am posting for my mother who is uncomfortable with the internet and has had no experience using message boards.  She has had weight loss surgery and I am encouraging her to use her computer to find online support groups since she is unable to get out at this time.  We learned a lot about bariatric surgery from someone I used to date and she recommended this web site.  Mom is sitting with me and learning how to do this and I know she will soon become comfortable and post on her own. Have a good weekend, everyone.

Hi to your Mom! Welcome to our "Over 50" site. Feel free to read and respond. We would love to get to know you! My name is Julia- I'm 56 and had my surgery in 2007. We have a daily post where we tell of our days "happenings". That would be a great way for you to join in. Hope to see you here soon!

Good Morning and welcome!
I had my surgery almost 5 years ago at age 53! Life while not perfect (it never will be!) is certainly much better now that I've lost weight! 
Welcome to the digital age!  Post with us!

Say hi to mom and welcome! I had my surgery at age 49 and I'm six years out, have lost 180 pounds, regained 20 and hope to get it off again. It was the best decision I've ever made.
