I am new to the VA Boards and wanted to introduce myself.  I live in Va Beach and had RNY on 8/20/08.  I am down 81 pounds so far!!!!  I was wearing a size 24 and now in a size 14!!!  I can't believe how much my life has changed in a few short months.  I have a daughter who is 1 1/2 years old and I am able to get down on the floor and play with her and keep up with her engery now!  She was my motivation for having the surgery... I wanted to be healthy for her and for her to learn a healthy lifestyle!

I look forward to posting here and getting to know everyone.

13 lbs was lost pre-op

Welcome! Congrats on your progess!  Hope you find the support and caring that you want and need from these boards. Personally, I pop in every so often, but don't post a lot...other post daily or more!

I'm kinda new here too! I also live in Va Beach, but I had my surgery in 2001 in Ohio.  Your progress is great and your pics are amazing!

Welcome to the VA Board..... Congratulations on your weight loss to date - you are doing great! I know running around with your daughter is a great motivator. You will be so much happier lighter and your daughter will benefit for life....... I did it for the same reasons..... I have never regretted my decision.......
