Row Call- WLS Grads that Lurk
Hey Jeannnie... first off I just now saw your pre weight and post weights and sizes and you deserve a BIG pat on the back. Awesome job there girl!
We must share the same demon LOL ... he's been saying today ---> on my shoulder... that some here must be SICK of seeing my face lol and I have promised myself Im cooling it this next week here and letting others post more. I tend to watch for posts that dont have many posting to them and try to post to those first.. Duno about others but when I have posted in past anywhere on messageboards...I have this horrible fear NO ONE will respond... and dont want others to feel the same as I do when they post and no one responds to me... Have well kinda felt...out of the circle... cliques and such... mom always said.. "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".. LOL remember? oops probably before ur time i bet lol
Anyway .. next week Im going back to my corner and tag someone else to take the lead poster of the week LOL.. but hope this link helped a few wls buddies feel more welcome in the new site.... cause we are all in this together!!!
Welcome dear Jeannie and I hope you feel at home here... ya can even sit right here beside me lol..

Yup darlin' I'm thinkin' we might have the same chronic condition.......LOLOL - though me bein' so old and all...I might have a further advanced stage than you!!!
And we had the same mom??? Wow - you look so much younger than me! Yes, it is important to respond to the loneyly posts......I was never so relieved when they took that stupid number of response counter off the page......what a nasty thing that was for ones ego....even though it was an inaccurate count....it still had to hurt!!!
I'm thinkin' I'd enjoy sittin' right there beside you for a while....... just getting to know you better.....
Thanks for the kind comments.....
Jeannie
Hey there! Over 50 ain't old . . .we're just getting started. OK, I've been a lurker of late. Just found this "spot" for the grads. I'm 2 years out and next month if all goes according to plan, I'm having an arm lift and panni removed! 238/130, 5' Tall (5/28/03). Nice to see some "old" faces! Hugs to all, Linda
Linda,
You're right!! It's just a number! I try to keep myself in reality cuz' if I let myself go.....thinkin' there I go actin' and actin' like a 17 year old at 55 ain't so sweet or pretty!!! BTDT...
Congrats on the PS........I admire your courage. I think I'll keep my wrinkles, sags and bags for now......
LOL

Hi Deb!
What a great post! I'm guilty of lurking on this new WLS Grads board...but I'm happy to start posting! I've been very active on the July 2004 board, but things are slowing down there...I think it's just because everyone's so busy during the summer!
I am just a little over a year post-op, had open RNY and am doing FANTASTIC! I have reached by goal of 135 lbs., for a weight loss of 117 lbs. I will be 52 years old in September...and weigh less now than I did in high school!
I love this new mb...there is so much great information here. I think I'll stick around!

Thanks for the compliments, Deb! Yes, it is amazing how much younger people look after WLS....not to mention how much younger I FEEL!!! Don't be jealous of my legs...they're like hanging jello! My girlfriend (who also had WLS) and I jump in her pool and shake our thighs under water just to watch them flap around. Gross! Oh well....we're just happy to be 50+ and at a normal weight!
BTW...I'd be happy to sit on the other side of you and Jeannie!
