Hi!

I hope I am posting this in the right area.

My name is Taylor, age 20. I recently made the decision to have weight loss surgery at Saint Francis Hospital.  I am currently in the process going to all of pre-surgery consultations and I will meet with Dr. Raftopolous in mid January.

Please feel free to ask questions, I am new to this so there is a lot I need to learn, and I am willing to do so.
I wish to be happy and healthy, and I hope the same for you all. Take care!

Welcome!  I peak in here from time to time but this board is really slow.  We need more new folks to liven this place up.  I'd love to see meet & greets in CT regularly like they do in some other areas. 

Check out the 20's board.  Looks like an active group over there. 

Good luck to you.

Thanks you two for welcoming me, it's truly appreciated!
I hope a few of us can get together one day, it's nice to know that we are going through the same life changing process.

Keep it up!

 Welcome Taylor!

I wish you much success on your journey. You are in good hands with Dr. R. I am almost 2 years out and have not had any issues.

Key to success is to follow his plan which may seem stricter than others on the board, but it works!

Good Luck!

Nancy

Hi Taylor,
I'm new too, so glad you posted.  I see a lot of people have had Dr. Raftopolous, so he must be a good surgeon, as many like him.  I am having Dr. Jonathan Aranow when I have my Open Gastric Bypass probably in early December.  Check also in the Main Forum where people post from all over the United States.  That place is always buzzing with posts and much info.  Great source for learning.  The people on the CT Forum and the main forum are wonderful with responding to any questions.  Wishing you well as you travel the road to a healthier you!
