Introduction

... apparently with typing.

Welcome Scott! It's great to see you here! I had my gastric bypass 3 months ago and have found this board to be very informative and helpful. There's always room for one more! Good luck as you begin your process. Keep us posted!

Hello, SCOTT ! Welcome to our family! And FAMILY we are...We love/fuss/disagree/just like any family...but most of us are very honest and caring, because we want everyone to be HEALTHY and SUCCESSFUL, with their post op lives!

Okay..that was my welcoming speech...

Now...I'm Gina..15 years post RNY...yes, YEARS...been an OH member 16 years...would have been dead, long ago, without OH (no drama-just facts)...Was 44, when I had WLS -am 150% healthier now -Currently down 184 pounds (but scale numbers aren't "important"....yea, right)...The post op life can be a crap shoot and roller coaster, FOR SURE, and I sure didn't have the guidance that is available these days, so YOU ARE VERY BLESSED, in that aspect

No question is a dumb question...well...there HAVE been a few...maybe...but SOME kind sou; will answer, anyway...

So...tell us about YOU...We are nosy that way...I am Texan born and raised...Where do you live? Have you submitted any insurance paperwork yet?

Gina, the new avatar is cute, but I miss seeing your lovely, smiling face!!!

But this one doesn't have wrinkles!!

Hi Gina,

Would you mind messaging me? I am terrified of what the future may hold for me having done this to myself. Yes I didn't want this surgery but my surgeon insisted it would help fix my sleeve issues and with the regain. I am almost 4 weeks out and a head case.

Hi Scott

I am so happy you posted to say hey to this wonderful group. They are my family and have always been there for me. They give me a hug when I need it and a kick in the butt when I need it to We look forward to your updates and supporting you all the way to your goal!

Take care,

Kathy
