...gulp... newbie....a bit embarrased and shy about all of this

I thought I would just JUMP in with both feet and say HI! HI! =0) I'm just starting this journey. I posted a profile if you want to know more about me. I could use your help, support, humor, shoulder, etc to get through all of this. Thank you in advance, Susan =0)

Hi Susan! Welcome to the best board on OH! You will definitely find all the love, support, and HUMOR you could ever want or need....right here! I just read your profile and I have to tell you my 5 year old daughter(THE light of my LIFE) would be so JEALOUS of you. She is totally and completely obsessed with horses and has been since she was 2 years old. Its funny cause we dont have any, and I never have, but she saw some when she was very young that a friend of mine rode and she has been completely amazed by them ever since. Her room is ALL horses, she even dressed up as one for Halloween this year! Anyhow....sorry off topic a little, but welcome and we look forward to seeing you post often! Karyn

Susan, welcome! I live in Arlington, Washington just a hop, skip and a jump from you! Your farm sounds fantastic! I read your profile and sure feel for you, as you took so long to decide to do the wls, just to be declined. I hope that your appeals will be successful. Purhaps someone on here might have worked through Group Health and can give you some advice. Don't be embaraced or shy on this message board... you have found a very friendly board to post on - filled with some very wonderful people! I am glad you found us... stick around and gain some friends and support! Sending you a hug, Aunt Pam
