Hi everybody, I am new to the forum , and just wanted to say hello to all. I am beginning my road to try to get surgery, please be praying for me . Thanks bye

Hi Joanie, Welcome! Board is pretty slow today, but I wanted to wish you all the best. I'm one yr. out and down 125lbs. (still need to post a new photo) and let me just say, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. This is a great place to get advise on just about anything, so if you run into any bumps during the road to "approval", just ask the board, someone is bound to have gone through the same thing you are. Best wishes, Michele

Hi Joanie, Welcome to the best area for information. It's usually quiet on the weekends. Don't worry about not seeing any activity, we have those that don't post, but will post under someone's question. There are a lot of good Dr.'s between Knoxville and Nashville, and in chattanoga. So that shouldn't be a problem. Feel free to ask any question, we're all here in the same boat. Some one will know the answer or know where to find the answer. Research well, and research the Surgeon that you want to do your surgery. If you can't find any info on him, ask his staff. If you want to post a thought, a recipe for those post-ops do so. We all need new recipes. Here anytime, always, Kathy

Hello Joanie Welcome to the TN board. I am 4 months out and down 68lbs. I may not have a lot of answers but if you have any questions that I can answer, I will be more than happy to. Best Wishes as you begin your journey! Lisa
