Hi everyone, my name is Michele. I live in Minnesota and I'm going throught the process and hoping to get a date soon and I can't wait. I started the process in October 2009 but had to put it on hold due to an issue with my knee. Just waiting for them to review my previous information. I'm 42, married and a mom to an 11 year old daughter. I so have my family's support and we are all ready for this journey to begin. Thank you in advance for all the knowledge you bring to the group.

PS I'm planning on the RNY

Hi Michele,
Thanks for letting us know a little about your journey. I'm excited for you.
I 'm 52 years old. A wife & mom to 3 grown sons. I had RNY 12-21-09.  It is the best thing I've ever done for myself. It was overwhelming and scary at different stages. I so remember those days before and even for weeks after there was so much to learn and change.
I've lost 80 pounds, 30+ inches. My diabetes is gone, sleep apnea better and arthritis better esp in the knees.  I know I look better but my goal was/is to be healthy.
Please let us know when you get your surgery date. If you have questions or concerns just ask away.
Hugs,
Annie

Thanks Annie!

The waiting is the hardest part for me.

I feel like a little kid waiting for Christmas!
