Hi, all. I'm new to the NC board. I hang out a lot at the RNY and Main board. Just from reading here today, it sounds like a great group on this board. I have surgery on Thursday so send me some good vibes. I'm looking forward to it, but getting a little nervous now. Keep up the great posts. It's really helping me feel a little less anxious. Remember me on Thursday morning. I'll be back to this board. Really seems like a great group of people. Happy Holidays!!! April

Welcome! I'm a lurker on the Main Board and RNY Board. Sometimes the drama factor is too high there but here- smooth sailing. I'll be thinking of you on Thursday morning and can't wait to get a report of how well you are doing. Teresa

April -

Welcome to our corner of the world. As you have noticed, this board is just teaming with southern hospitality and plenty of support.

I look forward to getting to know you and following you as you make this incredible journey of a lifetime.

If you have an angel, please have them be sure and let us know how you are doing after surgery.

You will be kept in thought and prayer.

All the best,

Barb

Welcome April! (and you too Teresa!) Getting to know the folks here has been one of the nicest things that has ever happened to me. I really feel blessed to have found this forum. But you will also find some of our Yankee hospitality here too, even in North Carolina! So Barbara (a native of California!), let's not make this a Southern thing! It's so much MORE than that! LOL
