New to this site, hoping to meet some friends along this journey

My name is joe, im 25 and all my life i've been overweight i've been wanting to get WLS for a long time now and finallly decided on getting a Roux en y. I just started my journey to a brand new life and im hoping to meet some others to help get me through these 6 LONG months that i will have to wait and hopefully will befriend for life. I'm very nervous about the surgery but thats obviously is not going to stop me. I am ready to change my life forever and hope you all will join me on my ride. Hope to hear from you soon!

Hello and welcome! You have made a wonderful decision and found an equally wonderful place for support.

Bonne Chance

Thanks, and congrats on your amazing weightloss!

Welcome.. 95% of WLS patients that remain successful use a support group. OH counts.

Good Luck!

Welcome.  The 6 month wait is LONG, especially when it evolves into longer than a year for various reasons.  But the wait was so worth it!

thanks, Im really nervous about getting it and what makes it worse is the wait. Just thinking about it all the time is already driving me nuts. lol! Im scared about having complications but thank goodness for this site!

Welcome! You've come to the right place for advice, everyone here seems to be so great. Relax and enjoy the journey.

Hey Joe~ Welcome to OH or better yet the Losers circle! I anticipated my WLS forever it seems but it came so fast it made my head spin. Just focus on the day to day rather than the long road ahead. I started my classs last year in march and just had my surgery machs 25th of this year. and it was well worth the "wait". Good Luck to you and keep us updated on your journey!

Thanks, and congrats on your success so far, Im really glad i found this site it's nice meeting people that have already taken that giant leap over to the loser's circle and that are nice enough to help guide me to it.

Welcome Joe, This is a great forum, the best on OH! I am 18 months out and was nervous about having the surgery, but was more nervous about what might happen if I did not. I am on here from time to time, lurking more than anything. Good luck.
