Maryland Residents
Introductions - please post!
Hi, folks! I'll introduce myself properly in a moment - but wanted to let you know that I've visited the Columbia, MD group here on OH and invited them to take a look at our group as well. My goal in starting this group is to supplement what's already out there. I felt that the individual "city" groups were too restrictive and I'd like to meet people from all over the area.
So - with that said -
I'm Jeri and I've been living in Maryland for almost 19 years. I moved here from California to be with my (at the time) future husband who already lived here. That wonderful man, Jonathan, has been my husband now for almost 18 years and we have a great life together. We live in Columbia and have been in the same neighborhood for about 15 years. I'm a VERY YOUNG 56 years old and I'm mother to two adult children, Justin - age 31 and Joanne - age 21. Both of them are married and we're enjoying our "empty nest." even though I miss being with my daughter!
I've been looking into WLS for years, but kept chickening out until now. I'm scheduled for LapBand surgery this Friday (March 12th) and very excited, but also very nervous. I've topped the scales at 320 and have yo-yoed for years. My most recent weight gain came as a result of medical issues that caused me to retire from my job as a Church Business Administrator.
I look forward to getting to know each member of the group on a more personal basis as we share our struggles, our challenges and our joys! We're all in this together and having the support can only help make it easier for all of us!
Take care, have a great day and please let me know how I can help make this group better meet your needs!
Blessings and peace,
Jeri
