No more lurking!

Hello January 2006 OH Board members. I've finally decided to stop lurking and join you! Hope you don't mind. Had my surgery at Kaiser So. San Francisco on January 9, 2006 and it has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself. My surgery weight was 255 and I am down to 209. Can't wait to get to Onederland! Anyways, you all are inspiring to me and I hope I can encourage others as we go along. Karen S. Highest/Surgery/Current 273 / 255 / 209

Hi Karen and welcome, I'm glad you've decided to join us. We've got a great group here. I hope to see a lot more of you in the future. Regards and hugs, Ronna

Nice to see you come out of lurkdom. Chele

Thanks everyone!

Welcome to the board Karen

Hey Karen, we are surgery sisters!! There are quite a few of us January 9thers around here from time to time. Sounds like you are doing GREAT! Welcome to the January family!! Beth

Thanks surgery twin. I love it that we all had our surgery around the same time!

Hi Neighbor I had surgery at South San Francisco Kaiser on January 30, 2006 and I live in San Mateo. Have you attended any of the post op classes. They have them every third saturday from 9:30AM TO 12:30 PM. If you attend the next class look me up.....Suzan

Hey Neighbor, We definitely have to get together to meet each other. I went to one post op class right after my surgery but haven't been back. I will try and get to the next one. We can check in and see if we'll both be there at the same time. I wouldn't doubt it if we have already seen each other in our pre-op classes. How cool to meet someone from my own backyard.

Welcome Karen! It's good to see your smiling face. Leeanne
