HI Everyone! I'm new here!!!

Hello! My name is Amy and I'm just at the beginning of my journey!  I've been accepted into the program at the Hershey Med Center and i'm getting ready to get started!  I'm so excited I might explode and I'm so glad to find more forums to talk to people going through the same thing!

Welcome, Amy! 

Hi Amy,

Welcome to the PA Forum and the beginning of your journey, which will involve learning so much and very likely include making a whole bunch of new friends!

Best wishes, Laureen

Hi Amy!! WElcome aboard and PLEASE don't hesitate to ask anything - someone in the group seems to have always "been there done that"

Welcome, welcome, welcome!  I have to say you picked the right forum to come to.  Everyone here is fantastic and they are chock full of information and support!  Come everyday and check in and read the older posts as well to help educate yourself.  Thats what I did!  Dont be bashful (or any of the other seven dwarfs for that matter) and jump right in!

Congratulations on beginning your journey - the best is yet to come!

Welcome to the board amy!  There's a lot of GREAT advice here and people who are willing to help no matter what the cir****tances.  We definately keep it real and won't sugar coat things (or should I say "splenda coat" things, lol) when tough advice is needed

Glad to start following your journey with you!

Welcome to the BEST board around!!

You are going to meet so many great people on your journey. Keep us updated on how you are doing.

We will make room for you on the loser's bench!!

Welcome to the PA Forum, Amy!

I think you'll find a ton of advice and positive support here.  What type of surgery are you considering or have you decided on?
