Hello
Just wanted to say hello and see if anyone has advice for me?
Welcome to this board! You will find a lot of caring and support here. Most of us check in on the roll call everyday or so as well as asking specific questions on things we need help with.
I would encourage you to read and study a lot about all the different surgeries and choose what is best for you.
Welcome,
Connie

Welcome to the Illinois board. I am fairly new to the board myself. I have found everyone to be warm and loving and great to talk to. Here's to your new journey and hopefully new friends. Most of us check in on the Roll Call to touch base and let everyone know how things are going.

We also have get togethers often too, maybe you can join us for one of those if it isn't too far. I am not sure where McLean is. sorry

Success begins with wise choices I make,I will not let noncompliance be my mistake, The surgery I had was to assist me in changes. My compliance is for a success long range, So I will think before I decide to cheat. Remember the goals I want to meet. For this surgery is not something I was force to do It was what I wanted for a healthy life!
