I been reading these boards for the last couple of months and finally decided it was time to jump aboard. . I have been researching WLS for some time now and have finally decided to go ahead with it. I am having RNY gastric bypass surgery on 12 Jun 2007. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I have been overweight my entire life. I almost had gastric bypass done in the early '90s but chickened out. I was not ready for it at this time. I do feel ready now. It's now or never as my joints, back, etc. are forever telling me now is the time. I will be chatting with you as I can.

Hi Pat - Welcome! This is a great board - everyone is so warm, caring and supportive. It's perfectly normal to be scared and excited at the same time - we've all been there!!! WLS is without a doubt the best thing I could've done for myself - my only regret is that I didn't do it long ago. So please feel to join us for any get-togethers (we try to get together every 4-6 weeks or so), and I think there's one planned to Savage Mill/lunch for Sunday, May 20. I know there'll be more posted on that as we get closer. And post any questions or concerns you have - if we don't know, we'll make something up for you! Take care, Teresa (Tia)
