Hi everyone! Terri M. told me about this board and I thought I would stop in and say hi. As you can see I am from Pasadena and only three weeks post-op. I can always use new friends, so I hope I can become a part of your little group. Thanks all and have a great day! ~Melinda

Welcome Melinda!

This is a great group, so please feel free to join us. We have an informal social group that tries to get together every 4-6 weeks or so, so keep an eye on the board for more info. Good for you for taking the surgical plunge - it's a gift you'll never regret. Just be kind to yourself as the first six weeks or so seem to be the worst. Be compliant with your doctors/nutritionist's orders, and drink and walk and you'll be feeling better in no time. I was an emotional mess initially too - I'll blame mine on all the hormones flooding my system once I started losing weight. Don't despair - it WILL get easier! Take care, Teresa (Tia)
