You guys are an inspiration.

I'm starting on my journey and I have to admit, reading your message board is really building my confidence. Part of my problem in the past is just not having a support network. I can see how close you all have become. I hope you have room for another "loser" in your group. I'm looking forward to getting to know you all better (although I feel like I already know you from reading your messages). Have a great (soggy) Saturday. Love, Jenn

Welcome Jenn........... Yep, this is a GREAT board. Lot's of inspirationational people full of information and caring. We are all at different places in our journey, which I personally find to be great) so there is LOTS of information out there. Plus many "been there's" as well. So, you know when you ask a question you get answers from people who truely have been there. Everyone is pretty nice and considerate as well. Welcome! Jill 263/182/145

Good Morning, Jenn....Wow, you have found the most wonderful board out there. We always have room for more! Come on in, grab your protein drink and chat with us...I have met some of the most wonderful people on this board who have become some of my best friends. I live way out in Danville but I have been able to get to some of the meet and greets and one conference so far and am looking forward to the conference in June. Alot of us get together about once a month somewhere in VA so feel free to join us. Can't wait to meet you. Hugs and welcome, Betsy

I'm overwelmed ! You guys are awesome. My surgical consultation is May 2. My Mom is going with me. It's a 6 hour drive. My husband can't get off from work. I feel like I need to eat everything in sight before my consultation because he might tell me to start dieting from that point forward. I hope my surgery will be soon after the consult. Best to all, Jenn

Hey Jenn, Welcome to the board. It's your's too now! Good luck on your journey both pre- and post- op! Kirsten

Hi Jenn and welcome!! I would like to point out is if you are considering having surgery or had surgery and live in the state of Virginia, this is YOUR message board as well!! Heck we have some that come from other states that have claimed this board as well. So, please, this is your board, post as much as you wish! There is ALWAYS room for another *looser* in this group!! Looking forward to getting to know you Jenn..... Dianna
