Newbie Here
Just wanted to do a quick intro..
I'm Marcy from Ohio..i'm just about 13 months postop and down 155 pounds, I found out about this site from a friend at my church. Just wanted to say hi and hope to get to know some people who I can learn things from.
I'm married with 2 wonderful children. Celtic Rose sent me a link for this community. Hope to get to know you all
Hi Marcy!
I think you'll really enjoy this site. It has far less (almost no) drama compared to the Main message board - something I value a lot. The main board certainly has it's place and you can learn a lot there - I still visit occasionally and sometimes share a bit of knowledge which hopefully can help a bit. All of us here have our struggles - the dreaded 20 lb wt gain, falling off the exercise wagon and coping with life as "old-timers" vs. newbies. I think you'll find the tone here one of gratitude and support - and sometimes we need the occasional "kick in the pants" to get us back on the right track. People generously share what's worked for them - and just as generously share mistakes.
Welcome aboard - and congratulations on your success!
Your WLS pal,
Bette
Hi Marcy and everyone else. I too am new to these boards but not to OH.
I had my open rny june 5 2003. at time of surgery I was 290. I lost 110lbs in 10mths but am now fighting with weight gain. I am presently 191lbs. Hey not bad considering. i am having so much stress right now with a disabled husband and an 8mth old we have in our care and trying to adopt. That plus a full time job... Need I say more? I desperately need help to get back on track and hope you all can help with that journey.
