Newb 4 penpals

 Hello! I am looking for a pen pal! Email, snail mail.. anything but smoke signals!. 
I live in Ohio. I am currently waiting the dreaded 7 to 10 business days for insurance approval. Once approved I will be having my surgery at Cleveland Clinic. 

Hope to find a friend or friends to share with, learn from and support each other. Come one, come all!  Hope to hear from you soon!

HI Tawnee,

Oh the waiting, I think that is the hardest thing to go through. Which surgery are you having? I had the bypass about 5 months ago. If you ever want to chat just email me.

Hello Tawnee...
I am authorized and looking forward to my surgery on 2/15/11.  Lets do this togather...  Are you having RNY?  I am in Colorado and just ready to have a new life with a new healthy body.  Looking forward to getting friends and supporters here and hopefully will get the extra person on my hips GONE.

HI! I'm new to Obesityhelp.com. Just joined last night. I am looking for others who are pre-op. I haven't set the date yet, have two more months before I can do surgery. I'm doing the LapBand. I'm really committed, but nervous too. I have some support, but am feeling like I need more! I don't want to tell everyone that I'm doing surgery, I'm kinda private and don't want everyone in my business. Those closest to me know about it. How does pen-pal'ing work? do you reply to this "thread" or give an email address or what?
Hope to be a support to others too!
