newbie

hi everyone, i'm new to the group and looking forward to hearing from you all. my RNY surgery is scheduled for feb 4th, and i am both excited and nervous, any tips would be wonderful.  thanks!!!

Hi Lorey, so glad you found the bariatric buddy group.  Good that your surgery is less than a month away.  I had RNY 4 months ago.  Pack light for the hosptial, lip balm and a favorite pillow.  The pillow will come in handy for padding during the trip home.  Check out lots of threads, ask even more questions.  The excitement/nervousness all jumbled together, seems like just yesterday to me. 

Hi Lorey! Welcome to the group, I am still kind of on the new side, but this group is awesome and so helpful. I am having RNY on the 11th and I am also very excited and nervous, but everyone keeps telling me don't be nervous be excited, so I am trying really hard to kick out the nerves! Hope to hear more from you. Good luck!!

lorey, great to have your aboard.  this is a great family and you are a much welcomed member now.  be sure and post a lot about yourself so we can get to know you.  ask any questions you may have, let us know how you are feeling so we can be there to support you. we have a chat room session in the bariatric buddy chat room on mondays at 7 eastern, 6 central, 5 mountain and 4 pacific.  it is a good way to get to know people.  let me know if i can help you in any way.  feel free to personal message me if you want. vick
