Hello Everybody, I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Kathy H. I live in the Seattle Area. I have a date for surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center on Nov 17th. I'll be having a Proximal Divided Ry-Xy Gastric Bypass. I've been overweight must of my adult life. I'm 52 years old. I need to get this weight off. I feel like I'm 62 or 72 must days. Problems with my back and knees. Hard to walk, etc. I cant wait tell the day of surgery. It will be the beginning of a brand new life for me I'm sure. I will need support, I'm looking forward to getting to know more of you here on this site.

Welcome to the Group, Kathy!

I hope you can make it down to Puyallup on Saturday -- otherwise our next meeting will be in Kent Valley.

You want support, you got it! I am pre-sugical, and just the 30 or so pounds I have lost is making a big difference to my feet & knees. Have you been to UW's Physical Therapy??? They are GREAT folks.
