HI!

Hi everyone - I'm new here - just joined this morning. I have been working with a pre-bariatric program for a few months now and just received my surgery date of Feb 14. I'll be having the RNY. I'm excited to finally be at this point and also pretty apprehensive! The support group with my hospital is about an hour away and meets 1X per month so I'm joining this group for some online support!
Welcome and so glad you are here. Congratulations on making a decision that will allow you to take control of your life and health. Come here often. It has really helped me to be part of this community, and I have learned so much along the way.
