I just wanted to say hi, I have been hanging out a lot at the RNY forums for the last several months and just now realised there are local forums too.

So now I am excited to be able to see people from around here with the same surgeon etc and hope to make new friends.

I had my RNY on 08/14 at Suburban, and just got my staples out today and got the 2 week post op packet. I am getting ready to eat real food tonight for the first time OMG no more soup soup soup!!! Anyway I look forward to getting to know y'all better!!

Can you please tell me what times these support groups meet? I work from 9-6 and have used up all of my time off for the rest of the year during my surgery/recovery not to mention my son's oncologist appointments. I can not afford to miss work but I would love to be able to attend. If they are around 6 I can try to talk to my boss about coming in and leaving early one day a month, but anything earlier than that would be just too tough for me to make at least till after the first of the year.

OMG I LOVE this smiley!! (If you can't tell I am a sucker for them LOL).

Hi Melissa

Good luck on your journey.

Yeah I was relieved to not eat soup for a bit just remeber the first few days on real food go slow don't get into to big of a hurry to try new things.

The people on here are pretty good about supporting each other and are very quick to try and answer any questions you have.
