I have been hanging out here on the over 50 board for sometime now but I don't know if I have ever formally introduced myself .I have mostly been involved on the main board. Anyhow, My name is Michele . I'm still preop but not for long HOPEFULLY . I have been jumping the hoops since November but ran into some roadblocks along the way. I am hoping to hear from my insurance sometime this week . I was once approved & should have had my RNY procedure competed on April 28th but things did not work out with my former surgeon so I'm starting over again with another much more capable surgeon .My testing is complete so we are currently playing the waiting game & keeping our fingers crossed . I am happy to be here & look forward to getting to know you all . Michele

Welcome aboard, Michele. OFF is a fantastic board~the best one on OH if you ask me. I am so glad that you decided to come out and visit us. Please post a lot and that way we can get to know each other so much better. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
