Welcome!

hi my name is susan my surgery date is feb 3rd and it is all i can think and talk about especially since it just got aproved yesterday! im kinda scared but mostly soooo excited i will finally be able to live my life like a regular 21 year old and go out and not feel like everyone is starign at me!

susan, congrats on the date and welcome to bariatric buddies. be sure and post a lot so we can get to know you. also let us know how you are feeling so we can be there for support.  you are so young and have soooooooo much to luck forward to.  i bet you will be thrilled when you look in the mirror this time next year.  let me know if i can do anything to help you. vick

I feel your excitement.  So glad that your surgery is just around the corner.  Come post often to let everyone know what you need help with.  We are here for each other.  Try to come to Monday evening chat sessions.  people pop in and out of chat as they are able to attend.  We start sharing at 6 pm central.  The spot to gain entrance to bariatric buddy chat is in the box to the right, above Patrece's photo.  This is a separate chat area from the main OH chatroom.

Hello Susan! Welcome to our group. Congrats on your aproval and you quickly approaching surgery date! I know you must be just thrilled to have been approved!  My daughter had RNY at age 22 I believe it was. That was 2 years ago.  It is definately difficult to be so young and have to deal with obesity.
This is going to be lifechanging. Don't ever take it for granted, as regain is far too easy later on.
You are just beautiful now.. you are gonna be having stares, but you'll enjoy the new kind much better! ; )
