I'm new here!!! Just stopped in to say hi.  I'd love to make some friends here, whats the best way to start?!!? I'll be having RNY surgery in August 2010.  Have you all met anyone who lives near you to be support buddies with?  Also any tips from those who are more experienced would be great!!

Thanks,

Autumn

I'll be your OH friend.. Welcome!  Have you checked out your state board?  I've met a lot of people through my state board and it's been great!

Thanks Maureen.  I did look at it a little, is there a way to narrow it down to cities? Either way I'll make sure to look around there a lot more! Thanks for the hospitality

No, I don't think you can narrow it down.  Another suggestion... does your doctor have a support group?  That may be a good way to meet people face to face.  Regardless, I've sent you a friend request and I'm a little more than a year out.  If you have any questions, I'd be happy to help out :)

Oh ok.  I need to go back to see my surgeon, because the day I went for the consultation I was nervous and forgot to ask a lot of questions.  I know theres a post-op support group but I'm unsure if theres anything for pre-ops, I've have to ask.  Thanks for the help Maureen! :-)

Welcom to OH..You have come to a great site - there is so much info here and so much support. This journey will be a hard one but so well worth it in the end.

Feel free to add me as a friend if you like.

I'm new here too.  I'm planning on having RNY in August as well.  I'd be happy to share the journey with you.

Awesome, woooo thanks, that would be great. August may be our favorite month from now on.  I already love it.  To me it means the end of summer and the beginning of beautiful fall weather.  I live in Miami, so we don't get much of that, but a girl can dream right? :-)
