New to this board

Hi guys I just recently joined and thought I would hang out in the 30's area...  I am going for my RNY on October 23.  I am really excited and hope everything goes well.  I can't wait to be able to move around better and do more sports.  we put in a pool this year and it is so hard to have company over and sweat on the patio with jeans on....and try and justify that you just don't feel like swimming right now. my body is sooooo tired and sore at night just from regular life.  my feet are so bad at night  i can''t stand on them.  oh i can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Look forward to meeting some friends on this board. 

Hello, It's nice to meet you. I'm also new on here and am waiting to have surgery. I have to go through  6 months of  weight management for my insurance to approve me so I'm trying to meet and chat with as many people as I can and get as much info as I can to prepare for my big day. Good luck with your journey keep me posted on how things are going for you.

Good luck.

Hello Ladies,
I am Kim and I am new here also. I just had my RNY 6 days ago. I don't have any life changing stories to share yet, but I turned 30 3 days after my surgery... and I feel like I have allowed myself to start a whole new life!

Hi.  I am very new.  Just got on this sight tonight at the advice of my psychologist prior to approval for weight loss surgery.  I see you are almost there, just two days to go.  I hope everything goes well for you.  I am in the process of waiting for insurance approval.  Doctor said my insurance usually takes a couple of weeks.  I am 38 and will be 39 on the 25th.  I decided that I do not want to spend the rest of my life overweight and out of shape.  I am excited as you are and looking forward to the surgery.   Trying not to worry about others opinions since that is to be expected.  I hope to chat with you all later.

Hi again.  I hope you are doing well.  I was notified on your surgery date Friday Oct 23rd that I was approved by my insurance for the surgery.  My surgery date will be November 19th.  Take care of yourself.  I hope to hear from you soon. 

Hey! I am having my surgery Nov 13th (8 days away!!!!) I just can't wait! I am really looking forward to shedding this outer layer and finding myself again!

 Yeah to you all for the upcoming surgeries!!  How are you all doing?  I hope you are experiencing some success!

I am new to this group as well and had my surgery over 5 months ago and have lost 90 pounds.  I am here to answer any questions you may have...
