New Year Newbie

Hi, my name is Gitta and I am from Kansas. I am a newbie on this site, just created my profile this morning. I am going to have RNY surgery on the 14th and I am very excited. I'm also looking forward to meeting a lot of people thru this website. Happy New Year to all of you.

Hi and welcome to OH! Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I expect that you are probably both excited and nervous about all of the changes to come. This is a GREAT place to discuss those issues as well as ask any questions you may have. If you are interested in meeting others with surgery dates in January, just click January 2008 in the drop down list above and then hit go. It will take you to a similar message board for those having surgery in January. There are also state boards, and if you would like to meet people from your state, there is a drop down box marked "go local". Just select your state and it will take you to your OH "neighbors" There are also forums based on the type of surgery you are having (i.e. RNY, LapBand, DS, etc.) so have fun exploring, and let us know ANY time you have questions or just want to talk. I look forward to more post from you!

Hi Gitta, Just had my surgery 3 weeks ago - It wasn't as bad as I was expecting! All is well (except I'm tired of pureed foods - yuk) Hope you have as easy a time as I'm having. The only regret I have is that I waited so long to do it. Good Luck - will check with you as you begin your new life post op. Patricia Smith
