I'm new to OH

Hello everyone. This is a first for me. I have been reading posts on OH for a while and then decided to join. And I have now decided to say Hi and introduce myself. My name is Beth, I am 36 yrs old, soon to be 37 in Jan. I have struggled with weight my whole life like many of you. Have tried just about every diet out there. I remember being 11 years old when I went on my first diet, and of course failed. I recently got approval from my insurance company to get the RNY bypass done on Nov 14, 2006. It was one of the best days of my life, right behind the births of my 3 children, and the day I married my soul mate and best friend. We have been married for 17 1/2 wonderful years. I hope to meet some wonderful people here who are going through or been through the same thing I am. Hope everyone has a great day.

Welcome to OH and welcome to the November board. Congrats on your surgery date. This is a great bunch of people who are very supportive and full of encouragement. So stick around and join in!

Welcome! I think you will see all of us on the November board are busy going through a bunch of emotions. I have my surgery on Nov. 15, the day after you. I hope your surgery is successful and that you have a speedy recovery.

H Beth and welcome to the board. Congrats on getting a surgery date. Best of luck to you. Shawn M.
