Hello & goodbye

I noticed this forum, and thought I would come on in since my BMI was 61.5. Then, I thought I should check my new BMI. Well, after 10 weeks I am happy to say that my new BMI is 49.8. So, I say hello, and goodbye, and wish you all well on your journeys. Sharyn -52

Well, good for you, Sharyn! Congrats on your -52! Blessings!

No need to say goodbye! This board is for anyone who's EVER had a BMI greater than 50. It's not an experience any of us are likely to ever forget, after all! (*grin*)

hi sharyn: i didn't find this board until i had dropped below the bmi 50, either. but i keep coming back because it addresses certain issues i didn't find anyone talking about on my regular board. if you want to, please keep coming back. if not, congratulations on your success. have a great friday. dorthe

Hi Sharyn, I beleive that this forum is for people who started their WLS journey with a BMI of 50 and over. There are many here that started with high BMI's and are now below 50. They continue to come here to share their experiences and help those who are looking to accomplish what you have done. I wish you continues success. Georgeann

In that case everyone - I'm back!! Thanks for the support. I'm going to need you guys as I try to deal with ALL of this skin. I can't believe how much it hangs already. Sharyn

LOL Hangs and plops and makes noises ( my dangling saggy floppy skin) ~Tina My BMI was like 72 and is down now but I will continue to post here since I am still supersize. I wi**** was here earlier! We do have different things to discuss and share here, don't we!

Hey Tina- You are right about the noises. I am trying to save up to buy one of those compression garments from Slender Touch. It's amazing how I have to slowly lower my arms. Do you know of a cheaper alternative? Sharyn

Hi Haryn, Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese don't go away!! stay here and play with us! All of us pre-ops and post-ops could really learn from you and your experience in weight-loss. Here's to the kind of friendship that only been-there-done -that -people can understand Virginia

Hi Virginia I won't go! Besides, I have to learn what to do with all of this skin. Sharyn
