WELCOME and CONGRATULATIONS on your surgery date!!! You'll love it here - and DO get thee to a coffee gathering soon - they're addicting!!! (and it's NOT the caffeine... it's the PEOPLE!)

Imperfect does not = unsuccessful

Welcome, Kelli with an I. I am Kelly F, but now to be known as Kelly Ann, since Adriannamae is Kelly, too. That's three of us. I think we may have more Kelly's than Linda's now. I, too, am rather new. I had RNY surgery with Dr Drew on 12/31/07. He is a fantastic guy. The MN boards are the best. And the coffee Saturday's are a blast, too. I'm heading up to Maple Grove tomorrow, and then I'll be back in Eagan in two weeks. When your schedule allows it, you should come. They are so much fun and very welcoming to newbies. This is a wonderful journey to be on. Congrats on your decision to be a loser. Kelly Ann

Welcome Kelli! So nice to meet you. Congrats on getting a date and with Dr. Drew. He was my 2nd choice for doctor, only because he was so full did I go with one of his partners - Dr. Chute. That whole group is just WONDERFUL, I know they will take good care of you. Jump right into a coffee group - even before surgery - they can give you some tips on what you need to do beforehand to get ready for it, and we all will support you through everything that prepares you for this rollercoaster ride you are about to be on... Stop in and post whenever - remember, the only bad question is the one that hasn't been asked...we talk about just about EVERYTHING on this board, and if you have a question, someone else might have the same question. Has it been asked before? Probably - but that is OK - we don't mind repeating ourselves.
