just wanted to say Hi! and hope everyone is staying dry.

Hi Pat,

Welcome to OFF, our nickname for the Over Fifty Forum.  This is the most supportive group of online friends I have found anywhere.  Drop in on our daily thread to learn more about us, and our journeys, and to share your's with us.  

I had my surgery six years ago, and am dealing with some regain.  I was able to go off cholesterol medication, and get my A1C number back to a healthy level, after being prediabetic for a year.  That fear of diabetes and a heart attack sent me to the weight loss surgery center.  

Hugs,

Trish
