Lurker Coming Out...
I've been lurking here on the OH boards for about a year now, but have only posted a couple of times. I'm SO glad I found this place...the information and experiences have been invaluable! I just thought I'd say *hi* to my fellow 40-somethings. I'm currently working the steps for a lap RNY, have been through a couple of consultations and the psych evaluation. Because of my work schedule, surgery isn't scheduled until June. Although I'm a bit apprehensive about it, I can't wait to be on my way to a healthier self!
Hi Lurker
Don't worry - I'm sure your not the only one. I have been lurking quite a while before becoming a member, but have decided to be participating more actively now that I'm definately heading for surgery (in a week). Guess this whole thing only works if we're all contributing and sharing our experiences.
I'm going for the *light* version of WLS e.g. a lapband, so I must say I'm not so worried about the surgery, but rather about the effectiveness of the band and if I can keep up the required regime....
Wish us both good luck - and keep on posting
best
Kristy
