I'm also new here and just wanted to say Hi

This is my first post here, but I've been viewing the message board for over a month now.   Your stories are so inspiring!   Some of the stuff I read here and the before and after photos, are incredible.  I know I won't totally get it until I'm right in there with you. I'm scheduled for RNY surgery Dec. 31, 2007 with Dr. Gluck in Muskegon.   I'm so excited to start out 2008 getting healthier.   Thanks again for all of your posts.   They really have helped me over the past month to know I'm making the right decision. Jodi

Welcome!!  and I love the name... :O)

Thank you all for your kind words!   I just logged back in, so it was a nice surprise.     Yes, I am definitely looking forward to getting healthy.   My 4 year old son was diagnosed with Cancer last year.   He is doing great now, but it was definitely a wake up call for me.   He made it through so much, it made me realize how much I want to be here to see him and his 1 yr. old brother grow into incredible men with families of their own!!!    Thanks again!!   Jodi
