Hi my name is Monica. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana and have been obese my entire life. I cannot remember a time when I wasn't bigger than everyone else. Recently I had bariatric RNY surgery. I have lost 70lbs so far and feel great! I have lots more to go, but a start is start! I am doing things I never thought I'd do....boxing, kick boxing, push-ups! wooohooo!

I decided to have surgery because I just could not do it on my own...what I have learned after WLS (weight loss surgery) is that you still have a "FatHead" that's what I call it. Right now in my life I am working on the reasons I eat and why I overeat. It's a long and winding road, but I appreciate the tool of WLS to get me started.

Thanks for letting me share. Monica

Hi Monica, welcome to 3FC! LOL at "Fathead" what a great description! There's some pretty wonderful ladies (and guys!) in the WLS forum, but really, we're all fab in all the forums Find your niche and post away!

Hiya Monica!



I know exactly what you mean... always used to being the "big girl" in the room. No more!

So glad that WLS is helping you through this. Please definitely check out the Weight Loss Surgery section and connect up with lots of other chicks who've had surgery or are considering it.

Hang around the boards & post wherever else you're comfortable!

Hey Mon -

Yes, please check out our Weight Loss Surgery boards...lots of people who've been in the same boat you have, so it'd be a good place to hear about the experiences you might have.

We also have great clubs around, including the 100 lb club, for those who are losing or have lost 100 lbs or more...it's a wonderful group, so check it out!

Can't wait to get to know you better.
