Just want some support

Hi! My name is Stacey. I am looking into having WLS and I wanted to talk to a few people about it. Kinda scared, but excited at the same time. Just wanted to know if anyone wanted to talk.

WE *always* want to talk. This is a friendly family you are joining. We are at many stages - *thinking/considering*, pre-op, post-op [long and short]. This board is a wealth of information and someone will always answer your questions and try to give you insight. The only thing you have to remember is that each and every one of us is unique and our bodies each work in their own fashion. Welcome to AMOS!

You came to the right place, the support here is great. I have a cousin that lives in McDonagh Oops spelling.. Ask away no question is a silly question. Betty Jo Lap RNY 7/11/03 399.5/206/150 239 inches gone

Where abouts in McDonough? Anyway, thanks for replying, like I said, this is a major deal for me, so yeah, I am a little scared. I have my first appointment soon. Any suggestions on what to expect?

Hi Stacey Welcome to our group!! I think you will find that everyone in here will be a source of information, support, and inspiration. I joined a few months ago and I have to say that it was the best move I could have made. Even before I was comfortable posting, I learned so much from just reading the posts that were here... and then when I did get up the nerve, I was welcomed with open arms. If you want to chat 1 on 1, please feel free to IM me on Yahoo under the name: spirited_vixen64 Hugs, Lisa Z.

Hello Stacey, ~hugs~ Welcome to the NY board. This is an awesome place to ask questions, rant or just chat. There are some really cool people here that become like your AMOS family. Please take your time and read some profiles, it really does help to hear others that are/have been/are going through this. Keep us posted and I wish you the best of luck... ~hugs~ Debra P 285/239/125??

Thanks to all that replied to me. I have my first appointment so far on October 3rd. This is my first consult with a doctor. Any suggestions on what I should bring with me, or ask, or have as far as documentation goes? Please feel free to IM me too, at [email protected], or the same address but hotmail on msn messenger. Thanks, hope to hear from you all soon!
