Hi! New the Board!

Hi Everyone!

I'm new to this board and wanted to introduce myself.  My names is Susie and I'll turn 23 the week after my surgery.  Happy Birthday to me!  I feel like I'm going to get a new lease on life and am super excited.  I'd welcome any tips and tricks to life post-op, especially ideas for a full-time college student.

I live in a small, rural town (only about 300 people live here!), so I'm hoping this message board can be a good source of support for me.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Hi Susie :) I'm new to this board too, but welcome! Congrats on your date and happy early birthday!

 Hi Susie!
I am going on 7 months out of RNY and have lost 75 pounds so far. Everyone on here is very helpful and supportive, so welcome to the board! 

Hi Susie -  

       I am pre-RNY too.    Hope you find lots of suggestions and helpful ideas here!
