Hi all, New to the board but not OH. Just decided to wander around a bit today. Its slow at work and I had one hell of a day yesterday. But here is the nitty gritty about me. I am 24.5 yo, Had surgery back in Aug 05. Ive lost 190lbs from my highest weight. Im @ my goal, its slightly above my surgeons but I told him from the get go, dont expect me to get to your goal, you should know this by now...Ive been the exception to every rule and this will be no different. And when I seen him 3 weeks ago for a slightly late 2 year check up, he admitted to it, lol. Now awaiting a hernia repair with Tummy tuck (all covered by insurance...woohoo!) that wont be till February though. Used to wear 30/32W top and bottom. Im in a L top and 10 in bottoms , will prolly be an 8 after the Tummy tuck. I figured I should come here since to be honest, surgery for us younger folk and how it affects us is FAR different.  So once again HI!

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah im excited about it, not quite sure if I want to be smaller than an 8 though, lol. I came into surgery with the thought I would be happy at a 14......hmmm way surpassed that. lol.

Thanks for the welcome! And congrats on your loss too! Its strange for me to think sometimes I had surgery 25 months ago....weird. And at times barely remeber being so heavy my whole life.  But on a side not, its kinda funny we both signed up on OH on the same day, lol.
