A little about Melissa

Melissa, Yay for you! Sounds wonderful so far. I so commend you for what you have been doing for yourself. Keep us posted and also let us know when that will air; hopefully sooner than you imagine Emily

Welcome to the 01/06MB That's very cool that Discovery Health is going to follow you in your journey!!!!! Susan

Welcome Melissa, It is great to meet you. I am Chris and I had surgery 1/30/06 This is the greatest thing besides having kids that I ever did. How do you like having Discovery health in your home and following family and friends? We had the Today show at my friends house who has an 11 year old boy who weighs approximately 330 pounds. They never aired the show and everyone that came to her house of course was skinny. Go figure. Anyway Zack was just approved for Lapband and he is going to Cleveland Clinic for it. I am so excited for him. Welcome to the board and to you! Congrats on the weight loss! ~~hugs and well wishes~~ Chris

Maybe this is going to come across as selfish but you should come to the Jan reunion in San Deigo so we can all be on TV with you!! I'm totally kidding there!!! I couldn't help be notice a hint of depression in your post. Please know that even though we are at different places in on the scale, we are all at the same place on this journey. I am so glad you chose to post and introduce yourself to us. Welcome to the family!!! Dawn
