New to Board!

Hello everyone. I am new to the board and am trying to learn as much as I can about weight loss surgery.  The information I've gathered up to this point has come from www.ngsaonline.com in Gainesville Georgia.  They are excellent, but I would like to hear from those who have had weight loss surgery as well. 

My surgery is scheduled for next week so I can't tell you about the surgery experience yet, but I wanted to suggest that you post here or on the main board with specific questions, and you'll find plenty of helpful people.  This site is a wealth of information, but it does help to ask questions.  And you can browse through member profiles to read about their experiences.  This Georgia board seems to be a bit quiet, though.  There are also boards for each type of surgery.  The RNY board is pretty active, but I haven't browsed the others.

I've been around for a while but just recently started posting to the boards.  Good luck, and welcome!

I appreciate your help and Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome aboard! 
I had surgery in August with Dr Hart out of Johns Creek.   I had RNY and have no regrets!! I have had a great experience and am down 106 lbs.  Wooo hoooo.   Feeling amazing!  If you have any specific questions please feel free to pm me.  I will be glad to try and help/direct you any way I can!  Again welcome aboard!

Hi Robby,
Welcome to the boards.  I had RNY done on March 17th and am doing FANTASTIC!!  I feel great, am up to a mile a day on the treadmill, and have lost 30 lbs.  Not to tell you that this is easy or an easy decision, but it is very much worth the effort that it takes to get healthy.  I have had NO complications from my surgery and am looking forward to a healthier/thinner me!

Good luck to you!
