New to the board - New to it all

Hi All,

I just had my orientation last night.  I am excited about the surgery even though I am probably going to wait a year or so.  Is there anything I should know or be doing in the year wait time.  Tell me the good bad and ugly please.

Welcome!   I am still pre-op.  I've gone through all my appointments and am just waiting on getting my date!   The time flies by before you know it.  My advice would be to take advantage on the time to really investigate and understand the entire process.  Joining this forum was one of the most helpful things I have done.   Any local support group you can find is great too.

Thank you, I actually stayed at TWH for a information/support group session last night and I was very impressed.  I will probably go to more of these just to ask questions and hear what others have to say.  

start making your "good" changes now... start  eliminating the bad foods... and keep a food log so you can show you are making changes...  Did they give you your next 3 appointments??  Are you going through TWH??

Thank you all for your replies.  I can see this forum is going to be "home" for me.  Yes I have my next 3 appointments with Phsychiatrist, Nurse Practitioner, Social worker and Nutrition class.  Starting November ending January 30th.
