Hi, everyone! I'm Heather, just turned 34, and am planning a Roux-en-Y sometime in the next six months. My mom is having it done, as well, and that was what inspired me. I've already started the preparations required by my surgeon (Dr. Darius Ameri, the Director of Winchester Hospital's Bariatric Surgery department which is an official Bariatric Surgery Center of Excellence!). A friend of my mom had hers done by him, and nine months out, is doing beautifully.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, as I figure OH will be a fixture in my life from now on!
