Cool Hello
Hello All,

Just wanted to introduce myself quickly. My name is Jennie and I had WLS 19 weeks ago. I am 33 years old and married to a wonderful man. We are currently in New Hampshire, but home is Connecticut, the Navy has sent us here for a year. So they have taken away my local support group and my friends. I deceided on WLS because my diabetes was out of control and I just couldn't get it under control. As of right now I have no signs of the diabetes, all meds where stopped the day I went in and just had my blood work done last month.

Well just wanted to introduce myself.

Jennie
