@ OWMC this morning, April 14
Is anyone here going to be at OWMC this morning? I happen to have an appointment there at 10:30 and figured I'd offer to say hi or meet up with anyone who is going through the process. If you'd like to chat or ask any questions about my experiences there or the changes that have occurred since my surgery 14 months ago, I'd be happy to meet up for a bit.
Hope everyone is well!

There are definitely folks from Belleville here on the forum. I have a lot of relatives in Belleville, Trenton and Frankford :)

Welcome to the forums! And to the process. Wishing you lots of luck as you go through it all.
I'm just over one year post-op. OWMC tells me I'm in excellent health and I've lost enough weight (I've lost 130 lbs in total from my highest weight) for now. Personally, I'd like to lose another 20 or so. Stubborn those last few pounds.
Keep us posted on how things go for you phatmama2!
