Hi everyone, My name is Vicki and I'm from Kentucky. I'm 42 yrs. old and a mother of 2 a 22yr.old son who just graduated from college and a 17 yr. old daughter who is a senior hoping to get a golf scholarship to college. I will soon be 4 yrs. out on Oct. 1, 2001 from having open RYN WLS so I'm an oldie but don't feel like it at all thank goodness for this life saving surgery. It was the best gift I gave myself. I have lost 155lbs. and have kept it off. If I can help you new post-ops or pre - ops in any way please don't hestitate to just yell or email me @ vwolff@fuse.net. I look forward to getting to know some of you better. Vicki

I am so excited! This is my first OH event! OH in Ohio was a great success and now we they are on their way to Houston! We hope to see you there on November 19th! We would love to meet you in person and see old friends again! Seating is very limited and therefore we suggest early registeration (Ohio sold out!)

Creating your own post - how to use emoticons

Emoticons associated with your post's title

One emoticon may be associated with your post's title. (We currently do not support embedding emoticons in post titles; the emoticon image you select to go with your post will appear to the left of the post's title.) To select an emoticon image to go with your post title, click the down-arrow marked Title Images to the left of the area where you will type your post. A menu of images should appear; click on one to make it the title image of your post. The image you have selected will appear outlined in red in the Title Images menu.

Emoticons inserted into your post

As many emoticons as you like may be inserted into the body of your post. To view the available emoticons which you may insert, click the down-arrow marked Message Emoticons to the left of the area where you type your post. You will see a list of textual representations of emoticons and their corresponding emoticon images. To insert an image into your post, type the corresponding text. For example, to include this image :-) in your post, you'd type :-), and to include this one :angel: you'd type :angel:.
