I'M NEW HERE
WElcome on board Shanecia,
You will notice that this board and this website is a great place with a wonderful community specially MD board, I have learned many great things here, spent many posts venting, agonizing aand pouring my heart out or on other times like last Friday (after getting approved by insurance) getting so excited. Wish you the best on your journey

Hi Shanecia,
Welcome to the Maryland Board. These people are a great source of support and information. I look forward to getting to know you, and hope that you "hang out" often.
I will be 4 months out at the end of this month. It has been an amazing journey. Lots of emotions, lots of ups and downs. However, this journey is the one that I know will save my life and lead me to a healthier lifestyle. I wish you all the best for a quick approval.

Hi Shanecia-
The people on this board are incredibly nice and supportive. You won't ever find a nicer group of friends. I also go to the support groups at Bayview on the 2nd and 3rd Thursdays of each month (for the RNYers) and a meeting in Glen Burnie the first week of each month. Maybe I'll get to meet you there as well.
Welcome-
Donna
