New Here But WLS Veteran

[red65]

Hi all,
I am new here and learning the ropes. This is my second time to try to post my introduction LOL! My name is Kellye and while I am new to this site I am a long-term WLS patient.

I am almost 11 years post-op gastric bypass and over 13 years post-op period (see signature for details). My hopes in joining is to a) give support to those who are pre-op, newly post-op and even further post-op as well as b) reaffirm my excitement and commitment to this way of life by allowing myself to become buoyed along by those earlier in the process.

I have maintained a 90lb loss from my highest weight but I have experienced some regain and I need to address it. My tool works fine, I just have to work it. I also have health problems now that can only benefit by losing weight and getting more active.

So those are my hopes for this site.

Take care,
Kellye

Thanks again! Just to be clear, it isn't all about me wanting to share all (meaning I don't want to come off like some sort of know it all or the like). What I do know I will gladly share freely because I have been passionate about WLS for years and tout its benefits in my life all the time, BUT I need you all just as much to keep me motivated and for ideas.

I am looking very much forward to getting to know people here. I've been doing some reading and there are some AWESOME people. That is exciting!!

Take care,
Kellye
