Hey!  I am looking for a PenPal in the New England area.  I am hoping to have RNY in Feb 09.  I I have had my first appointment with Dr. Yehia at Metrowest Medical Center in Natick and have scheduled all my other first appointments.  I am very excited and know that I am ready for surgery.

I live in MA and am single and 32.  I work for a non-profit.  I would be willing to e-mail or snail mail.  I will be able to Im on Yahoo hopefully by March of next year.

Hi Gayle,  That would be great!  I know where Leicester is.  Not all that far from me.  That is great that you had your surgery.  I can't wait to be able to finally get a date for mine.  I have met with the doctor and the nut.  I still have to meet with the therapist in January.  I hope everything goes smoothly. 

How has it been for you since surgery?

happy Holidays ,
your friend

Congrats!  It sounds like you are doing well.  I also think that the first two weeks will be the hardest for me.  Recovering and it will be the first time I will not be able to eat.  I am not a fan of Protein shakes but the Nut said I could have no sugar added Carnation Instant Breakfast.  She also gave me some samples I can try.  What do  you use?

Enjoy your time off.  You will probably get back to a busy work schedule and wish you could have had another week.   What do you do? 

I am in Ashland which is next to Framingham.  Not too far from the Mass Pike, Rt 9 and Rt 495.  I work in Framingham.  It is not far from my house though it takes me a while in the morning because of Traffic.  

I don't see the doctor again till the 30th.  I go to the Pulmanary Department on Monday for whatever testing they have to do.  Then the mental dr on the 6th of Jan.  I hope I can get my date shortly after that so I can start making plans.  

I am so looking forward and hoping that I will not be diabetic anymore.  That is my reason fo doing this even before the weight loss.  Even if I am still diabetic, my weight will be less so my diabetes will be better anyways.  My mom died at 34  when she went into a diabetic coma because she did not take care of her diabetes.  She was not obese but had some extra weight.  I am 32 so I am happy to be doing this to greatly change the outcome of my life.

Hello..
   Happy Holidays!  I am a child care worker at a residental program for children who have behavioral issues. I'm their "house mom" of 8 boys ages 5 yrs - 13yrs. We actually had their big christmas party in which I was able to attend. they recieved all their gifts that I have bought them , and plus 90 % of the donated gifts. They do recieve two gifts on Christmas morning. I love my job , and the children keeps me in laughter most of the time. They do have lots of anger due to their parents who had abused them. do you have a myspace or facebook account? or a yahoo messagner or Aol .. so that maybe we could chat ...
 toodles for now,
Gayle
