Hello!
Hey Everyone!
I have been on this board for a couple of months now, but am new to the WLS in your 20's board. I'm 26 years old and am in process of obtaining gastric bypass surgery. I attended my orientation class earlier this week and have scheduled my psych apptment, lab work, and first consult with the surgeon. That first consult is on October 1st and I can't wait! I am very excited about getting the surgery and am trying to get all my ducks in a row so there won't be too many hang-ups.
Like many of you, I have dealt with being over weight my entire life. It started out just being a little extra baggage and has since skyrocketed into morbid obesity. I am at my highest right now and can't believe that I have gotten to this point. But, that will all hopefully change soon!![](http://images.obesityhelp.com/_shared/images/smiley/msn/biggrin2.gif)
Anyhow, I just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I'm excited to share stories of success with everyone. Its nice to have the opportunity to chat with people that are going through the same things as me and is in the same age group. Looking forward to talking with everyone!

Yes it is very simple (at least, I keep mine simple; as I also ran Exerthon 1).
You just keep track of minutes per week dedicated to an exercise type activity. And post it, weekly, I'll make a weekly thread Monday mornings.
Easy!
Count you in? Just let me know!
