Hi everyone..my first post here :-)

I wanted to introduce myself. I am Shannon and I am almost 30. I am a couple steps away from having the Lap RNY. I have 3 sons and I want to be able to have fun with them and stay alive for them. I am currently at 295 and 5'8. I have lost 10 pounds since I started this process. Im looking for support and to make new friends and to learn as much as I can. Hope to hear from you all Shannon

Hi Shannon, Had the LAP RNY in December. It's been grea! But my surgeon says I'm not typical (or normal) but I knew that. Let me know if there's anything you need. Karen

Hi Shannon Feel free to ask us anything. and when you get a surgery date, let me know and we can do a "last supper" sort of thing. Welcome Sharyn

Shannon welcome to our little family. If you have any questions or just need to vent we are here and I'm sure someone will have answers for you. We have all been going through the same thing at one point or another, so ask questions, its the best way to get knowledge. Anyway, if you need anything let me know. Good luck and Welcome....Pam

Hi'ya Shannon, Welcome! This is certainly a place where you can learn much. And lots of helping, sincere people here. Pull up a chair make your self comfortable.... .... oh yes, get a protein drink or some crystal lite and make yourself at home. hugs, Barbara G.
