New to OK board

Hello all.  I have seen alot of your faces at WW support group 5-19. I am up around Enid so I can't make the walks but will join you in spirit.   I have consult with Dr. B on Thursday about VGS. Really excited. After taking care of the world for 30 years I'm finally doing something for me.  Thanks for allowing me to jump in to your message board. You all have no idea the supportI have found here.

Cindy, Welcome to Oklahoma OH and Weight Wise. Congratulations on finally doing something for YOU !! I can totally relate to that statement.  It feels good to take charge of yourself. Best of luck to you on your WLS journey. If I can help you in any way, please let me know. (((((HUGS))))) Rita

Thanks for the welcome. I do have a question for you. Dr. B said I needed to lose 13lbs. Should I start that now or wait until my visit with him?

You know it really depends on how quickly you want to move with this. This may not be the right advise for me to give you, however, if it were me, I would probably enjoy my Memorial Day weekend and enjoy all the cookout stuff one more time. You could either start Tuesday or after you see him. Since you don't have very much to lose, it shouldn't take you any time at all to reach that goal. Good luck.

Welcome to the group! I hope to get to meet you soon. I wish you the very best with your surgery!

 welcome to the best group on OH!!!!!  See you around!!

Welcome to the boards!!!!!! 

Welcome to a great group!!  We are glad you are here!!!

A big welcome, and I hope all goes well with your consult. Dr. B. is great!  I missed the last support group, but I hope to meet you at the next one. Please feel free to ask any question you may have. - Anna

I'm brand-new to the group myself, but it seems great!  Good luck with your pre-op weight loss!
