Let me introduce myself

Okay, where to start.  I just joined this group.  Joined it because i have been looking for a good support group and did not want to join one of the others i found, like at nearby hospitals because to me they seem too clinical and i would not get as much out of them as i would just meeting face to face with friends who understand the ups and downs of wls.  So i am very much looking forward to meeting everyone.

I had VSG surgery June 2, 2009, so its been just over a year for me.  I am about 120 lbs lighter but still have a small bit to go before considering plastics.  I am in a stall at current weight.  :(  I am married, no kids, 2 dogs and 2 cats, work full time, live in N. Seattle. 

I cant think what else to share right now so thats it.  :)

Welcome Christina!

You will have a group full of cheerleaders, not professionals, as support is our focus!  Not to say belonging to support groups sponsored by hospitals isn't helpful, most can understand the search/need for a peer based group.

Within our group you will find members at different stages of their journey.  Some are still working through the process while others who have gotten most the way there, we all have one thing in common: need of a positive perspective.

Hoping you many years of good health and happiness, WELCOME!

Welcome to the group.

Sorry it took me a few days to respond. I was out of town on vacation.   I am just checking in for a minute tonight but will write more later in a personal note.

Can't wait to get to know you better and welcome to the group.
