Talking Hello, I'm new

Ok, I found this website by chance since I just had surgery on 4.14.05 and have had so many questions and concerns! I'm thankful for all of the knowledge everyone is providing; it helps us "newbies" feel better and more at ease! So, thanks so much to everyone!
p.s I hope this posts correctly since this stuff is all new to me!

You have posted correctly. Welcome! It is nice to see another person from good ol Illionis here. I think Sue and I were the only ones. You're up by St.Louis, right? I'm down here in southern Illinois (around Carbondale). we'll have to get together sometime when I am up that way. Anyway, great to have you here. Please, don't hesitate to ask questions or send me a private message if you would like.

Welcome to the board. I've been very happy with the incredible support and care shown by others here. Glad to hear you're a loser now.

Thanks for the welcome! (Amber-yes, we will have to get together sometime-and yes, 15 min. East from downtown St. Louis!) I have lost 35 lbs. so far and find it much easier to keep up with the middle school kids I teach! By the way, last day of school today! Hooray for summer!
