I am a member over on OH, and I heard about your fourm so I scurried on over and signed up.

I am a married mother of one, and happy just heavy...

I started my journy out at 313lbs and so far I am down to roughly 275 lbs

I have a huge support system at home and at work.

Welcome Katrina! Have you had your surgery yet, or are you still waiting? A 38 lb. loss is great! I hope you enjoy this site, I have found wonderfully supportive people who have plenty of knowledge to share.

Not yet Deedee I still have three classes with Kaiser's options program I have to finish. I am hoping for early January for my surgery.

You will do well with the sleeve.

I'm very excited about being done with classes. Also thanks for the congratulations. I have been working really hard to loose as much as I can before surgery.

shutterbug,

Are you a photographer? If so do you do landscapes, flora, fauna, or what? I'm an amateur (hobby) photographer, no sophisticated equipment but love to take pics.
