Hi there! I found your blog through the OH forum. I am not a member yet, I basically lurk and suck in all the info I can. It's nice to find people that are in the same stages of WLS surgery as I am. How fortunate that your wife is also doing this with you and you have a close family member who has already been there. I wish you lots of luck in your journey and will be 'checking in' to see how it goes for you. Thanks for sharing.
