HI , I am new to this website and interested in the Roux En Y procedure. I'm going to my first informational session next week about gastric bypass. I'm hoping the process goes OK. My BMI is over 40 and I have tried multiple weight loss programs. I'm from Clear Lake, MN and plan to go thru the Park Nicollet program. Carrie

Carrie - this site is great if you have any questions or concerns - lots of experience - from those waiting for surgery, thinking about it, just had it or are a year or more out.

Carrie, welcome to the MN forum! Can I ask, how long have you researched weight loss surgery?

Welcome Carrie (this is my youngest sister's name too!), This is a good place to get support and information!! Park Nicollet is a good choice. Everyone there is helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. I suggest checking out one of their support group meetings on Wednesday evenings in St. Louis Park. Also there are several people from the message board that meet for coffee at various locations throughout the cities and St. Cloud. Good Luck and Congratulations on your decicion!! Colleen :)
