Hi, I'm looking for some folks from the NJ area, I had my surgery on January 29 of this year. I've lost 104lbs so far. I haven't had to many problems, knock on wood. Just looking to talk , I keep forgetting to go to the group meetings, my surgeon's office offers. Hope to hear from some fellow New Jerseyans.

Peace,

Mary

Hi Ladies...my name is Valarie and I live in Old Bridge NJ. I am 10 months in for my gastric bypass. My start weight was 242 pds. I am now 174 pds. Wearing sz. 8's...mediums, some smalls. Would like to get to 150...although I may look sickly at that weight. I am fearful of gaining my weight back because I'm not doing the right things. I exercise but my eating is slowly returning to the old ways. I know the right things to do...don't want to do them...if I gain this weight back I will b soo ashamed of myself. God blessed me with this tool...I have to figure out a way to respect this gift. Soo many people are not fortunate to have the surgery like we are. Just needed to call myself out where I am. Blessings on the new baby and your journeys...I'd like to stay in touch
