Joining In

Hi everyone,  just wanted to introduce myself as the newbie on the block.  I've been reading for a while and feel that I know a lot of you already.  I'm having Lap RNY tomorrow, June 26, at Franklin Regional with Dr. Moran.  I'm a bundle of nerves right now, but excited at the same time.  I hope to be joining ya'll at the next group support meeting.   Mary Pat

Good luck  tomorrow! We will be waiting to hear how you come through. 

That's great Mary Pat - you'll be able to share your experience with me : ) Wishing you the best and let us know how your doing as soon as you feel up to it. Are you staying over night?

Mary Pat, Congrats on tomorrow.  Best of luck and a speedy recovery. Joe

I wish you the best of luck Mary Pat. Joe,  First I want to say Congratulations you look awesome  and really you do have so much to be proud of. I read some of  your story, and checked out your pictures.  The majority of the folks that post are women, so when I see a man post and they have the courage to tell their story, I don't know  I just think it's great.  Anyway, I have one question for you if you don't mind.   I noticed that in some of your pictures you had hair, and in some you are completely bald, did you shave your head because of hair loss due to WLS?   I just told my Husband the other day that when I have this surgery that some of my hair may fall out,  he was a little surprised by that...LOL and I told him that it wouldn't be forever and I didn't care about that, it will grow back!  LOL    Thanks and have a great day Oh and by the way~ I happen to think bald is beautiful!  It looks good on you!

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes.  I'm scheduled to come home on Thursday.  I will post then and let ya'll know how everything went.  I'm on my way now! Mary Pat

Mary Pat, Praying for a safe surgery and fast recovery for you. Beth
