Just Found Missouri Forum!

 Hello all the Missouri residents!
My name is Stephanie and I just had RNY surgery on Friday, June 24th. :) I was not aware of the Missouri forum until now! I am 20 years old, and had my surgery with Dr. Hornbostel (who was wonderful). I live near Kansas City, and would love to hear from anyone else that has had Dr. Hornbostel or that lives in good ole' Missouri. :) Hope you all are well!

Stephanie,
Read your profile and want you to know that you will probably be at your goal in less than one year. You lose so much in the first six months and since you are not extremely overweight you'll be amazed at how fast you get to goal.
Stay on the board because when you go back to school it will be harder for you to stay on track - remember to drink your water, take your vitamins and get all your protein in and you'll do well. I'm originally from up by St. Joseph so sort of know where you are from. Now I live by Springfield.
Hugs,
Lana
