New Here..I suppose support it likely a good idea

Hello all! Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm January...I'm having surgery on June 2nd (just scheduled yesterday!) with Dr. Gornichec. I figured since I'm so close, I likely should be looking for support from others who have gone before me as well as those who may have more knowledge. Anyhow...looking forward to "getting to know" each of you!

WELCOME JANUARY AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR UPCOMING SURGERY. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU OR HELP YOU IN ANY WAY JUST LET ME KNOW! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT FORUM TO ASK ANYTHING OR VOICE ANY CONCERNS.

Welcome to our Oklahoma forum January.  We are all here to support each other.  You have a wonderful surgeon.  He did my sister in law's lap RNY 2 or 3 years ago and many others on this board have used him as well.  You are in good hands with him for sure.  Let us know if you have any questions or if we can be of help in any way.  This has been a life changing experience for me personally.  It has virtually given me my life back...a life I didn't have before!  We'll be honored to travel your journey with  you!!!  Good luck!!

I don't know what I would have done without this group and the support they offer here. You have come to the right place. There are many on here that can offer you all types of support and encouragement. Congratulations on your decision to the new you.

HELLO JANUARY
I HAD MY SURGERY, THE SLEEVE MAY 13TH.  IT WAS SURPRISINGLY EASY.  I EXPECTED IT TO BE BAD AND IT WAS NOT BAD AT ALL.  I AM BEGINNING TO UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT I HEARD AT SUPPORT GROUP.  MEANING ABOUT BEING HUNGRY DURING THE FIRST 2 WEEKS.  IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK ANYONE ON THIS FORUM.  THEY HAVE BEEN TREMDOUSLY SUPPORTIVE.

Welcome, January!  This is the place to get your questions answered.  Or, if you need a swift kick in the pants- we are good for that too.  Post any time you have a question some one will be along shortly to answer the questions.

Welcome!!!! Feel free to ask any question you may have! Congrats on your upcoming surgery day!!

HI & welcome to the Ok group.
Im Kim and I am 10 days post~op. I have been on here since December and these folks have helped me so much.
Congrats on your surgery date.

Hi January~  Welcome to Oklahoma OH :)  This is such a wonderful place for support, it truly is.  My name is Renae and I am almost 5 years post-op now.  I had my open RNY done in August 2004 and, healthwise and for giving me back my life, it's the best decision that I ever made.  I look forward to getting to know you and following your journey :)

Hi January,

Welcome to the Oklahoma OH board.  I just had my RNY surgery April 28.  and I'm doing great.  This has been a great source of help and support.  I've lost 15 lbs since surgery.  Just ask if you have any questions.
