New to board

You are so rught...lol! Support from someone who has been thre or is going through the same thing is sooo important.  

Got some ideas on how to do this? I was thinking of just starting a discussion on getting everyone here involve.  We need them as much as they need us.

Hello, and welcome to the board.  My name is Anita.  I had RNY on 9/16/08.  I have had no trouble except when I bend the rules a bit....i.e., I tried to eat tuna salad yesterday and my pouch rebelled in a major way.  (I rationalized that if I made it real soft with LF Mayo, it would be just fine)...NOT so.  My pouch, my "tool" rules my life and lets me know when it objects.  I'll be glad to share with you anything I have learned!  It's far more simple to just do what my doctor says!

Welcome. Good luck with your surgery.

Congratulations on your upcoming date...as you can see, I to had the Lapband...and am very pleased with it...I am now 3 1/2 yrs out...
I love support group and know that it is a VERY important factor in the success I have had....
I also believe that the support and Information that I have received with the online support has been so helpful
good luck with your surgery...
Maybe we will meet some day...
take care and God Bless
