You'll enjoy meeting all of us, I hope. We are a good group of people. I have made so many friends from this board.

HI Patti and welcome to OFF. I see the others have let you in on what OFF means...lol Congratulations to you on your upcoming surgery. I was 3 weeks out from my RNY yesterday. So far I haven't regretted it one iota! You will find the folks here good down to earth people. Looking forward to getting to know you! Again, welcome!

Hugs! Donna L (finding_me) - I just know I'm here somewhere...

Hi Patti and welcome!

I am reasonably new here as well, but I have felt very welcomed and am comfortable here. I am one week out exactly from my Lap Band surgery and feeling pretty darned good. Yes, the waiting is the hardest part!

Everyone here has great advice from experience and are so willing to offer comfort, support and huggs. I'm happy you stumbled around and found us!

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.
