Hi everyone!  My name is Michelle and I'm new to this wonderful group. 

I'm hoping to have RNY surgery in late March.  Getting pretty excited and nervous all at the same time.  I'm having my surgery done at Valley Medical Center in Pleasanton.  They have a great program there.  I'm still working on trying to lose my required weight ahead of time. LOL any suggestions are welcome!!! 

Reading everyone's story on this side is so encouraging!  It really does motivate me to get my butt in gear!  Hope everyone has a good day (as good as a Monday can be).

Welcome to the group! I am so excited for you. March is right around the corner and before you know it you will be on the  WLS ride!  Being nervous/anxious is normal...I really felt that way about 48 hrs prior to my surgery but then I was at peace and went in with a positive attitude.

Again welcome to the group and I can't wait to read more posts from you!

Welcome Michelle, your date will be here before you know it.  Use this time to start developing the new lifetime habits.  Ask lots of questions, there are no dumb ones.  Absorb all the info you can.  Here for you.  Hugs, Kathy

Aww you ladies are so sweet, thank you!! 

michelle, welcome to our growing family. i look forward to getting to know you.  you shouldn't have any problem losing your weight before surgery. your  post says you only have 11 lbs to go. that is very doable.  hang in there. vick

Michelle, I am also trying to lose my required 20lb before my surgeon will do the surgery. Not much success so far. Maybe we can keep each other motivated. Good luck,. Kim
