Hi All New to the group

HI My name is Michelle I am from New Bedford. I am new to the WLS, I have began on Oct 19, 2006. My scheduled surgery(RGB) (At Tobey Hospital) is for January if all goes well. I am very excited and nervous, and my doctor is Dr. Kruger. Has anyone been to this hospital and has this surgeon. I am looking for others to talk with and share experiences. hope to hear from you soon.. Michelle

Hola Michelle, I am new as well. Actually brand spankin new to the whole WLS thing. I have been researching for quite a while (a little over 2 yrs) and just made the decision to take the next step with a consult (12/22) and a support meeting (11/13). Unfortunately i can't be of much help at this time in regards to prior experiences but wanted to take the time to say hello from one newbie to another. If you ever want to chat feel free to drop a line. Take care and wish you nothing but the best. :-D Di
