Hello, I am new

Hi.. I'm new here. I'm not sure what "rules" there are for posting. I have a profile (I think..lol) that explains how far along I am in the process. I love that there is a board to come to where others are experiencing a lot of the same or similar things.

Welcome, just ask or talk about anything you want. We will all try to anwser to our best ability. I have wonderful doctors, (just read your profile). Mine are a husband and wife team. They are good!!! When are you getting the surgery done? I am 12 weeks out and 39 pds down. Slow for me, I am a revision patient. Take care Denise 250/211/150

Welcome to the board, Lin! I'm from Lake Charles and my dad worked 26 years at Fort Polk, so I think I understand your current neck of the woods. The rules for posting are below the preview for your post. It's pretty general -- cussing, X-rayed, attacking, human sacrifice -- the usual manners. There's a great bunch of people with a wide variety of experiences here, so ask us anything and make yourself at home. Onward! Frances

Hi Lin, Welcome to this wonderful site. I just read your profile and I hope all goes well for you. I just had my surgery 4 weeks ago today. Although I have been on a stall for the last two I can honestly say this has been a miracle for me. I lost 23 lbs the first 2 weeks but I have also lost 11 3/4 inches. I am considered a light weight. I only had about 80 lbs to lose. So I am on my way. I hope you feel welcome to this board and will be looking forward to seeing you post..... JC

Hi........welcome aboard....i still kinda consider myself new too! But one think i do know is that everyone on here is so nice and after you read their profiles you feel like they are your true friend because they have been through the same issues as you have!
