Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Hi Diane Welcome to our group! I live in Southern NH .. I'm 29 (tick tick goes the clock soon to be 30) married 12 years to my bud Benji ... and we have 2 girls. Kassie will be 9 in Sept & Isabelle (Izzy) will be 2 in June. I had originally scheduled my consult with Dr. Shikora in Boston for a lap rny but the long wait was driving me crazy. Not to mention twice they said they mailed out the information packets to me and I never rec'd them .. so I looked into other surgeons Dr. Randall or Dr. Thayer I called Dr. Thayer first and got my consult booked within 8 weeks and surgery 3 weeks after that. The information packet from their office arrived within 2 days of my 1st telephone call. I thought then this was the one .. I have since met Dr. Randall and his group and think they are terrific too so I know either choice would have worked but I do love my dear Dr. Thayer Anyway just wanted to welcome you! LOL don't even talk about grandkids I hope I have ALOT more years before either of my girls present me with grandkids Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom at such a young age. You've decided to do something to avoid repeating it and thats a bit step! Hugs Lyssa Introduction Hi all, I am just a little backwards, I should have introduced myself before. My name is diane. I am 38 years young, and have been married to my best friend, BJ, for 18yrs, gulp. We have two wonderful kids, Dawn, 16, and , 13. I currently live in Penacook, NH, though I am originally from Malden, MA. I will be graduating from Plymouth State College with a BS in social work on 5/20, but still do not know what I want to be when I grow up. I am also crazy for crafts, mostly rubberstamping right now. On 5/10/00, my wonderful mother will be gone for 6yrs. She died at age 57 of a massive coronary. She was morbidly obese for nearly her entire life, and both my sister and I share her obesity genes. I do not want to end up like her. I have too much to do, a great life, and I want to be active with my kids, and, though not for a long long,LONG time :-), grandkids. (Did I mention not for a long time?, chuckle.) I am so excited to find this board, as I have been surfing the net for information for close to a year now, while pondering the notion that WLS might be something I want to do. It is. Finding people who are local to me is a HUGE blessing. I look forward to being here. Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. Thanks for making me feel sooo welcome. diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2000 Report Share Posted May 8, 2000 Welcome Diane! What a great choice of names for your daughter!!! I'm Dawn too! How ironic is this, that you have me named Dawn, Pam (valiantduffy@...) who lives the next town over from you (and is an AMAZING person to know...and know's all there is to know about scrap booking), Lyssa (lyssais@...) who is into rubber stamping and crafts and such, and this whole group is here for you to welcome you, answer your questions, and become friends!

Guest guest Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 Hi and Welcome! If you are like me, you would not have looked for a group like this unless you really wanted to right? I have found that being able to share your experiences, struggles, triumphs and listening to others does help so very much. As you go on your day you might remember something someone said and it is encouraging. Unfortunately dieting and excersize are part of the regiment. It does get easier. You can read how others start. Yesterday we talked about that so called " slump " you need to get over before you can really start rolling on this. Sounds like you have not passed that yet. My best advise to you as starting out is start out slowly and gradually increase things. Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Dianne > Hello All, > Excess weight has been annoying me for long enough now that I am > finally trying to do something about it. Exercising seems next to > impossible and dieting is not much easier.
