Hello

Hello my name is Cynthia. I join bariatric buddy just recently.  I am on my way to my surgery date of April 5th. I am really excited but also kinda nervous what with the "complications" they have to tell you about.

Monday I start my 2 week pre-op diet. Looks like it is not going to be too hard, but I guess now is the time for checking out protein since I have to consume it twice a day.

I love this OH site!!!!!! I have been lurking on here since 2002 when I started my research for surgery. And I was also denied in that year, so I just kinda waited till I was ready to try again. That was last June when I REALLY started to persue my journey. Now my date is fast approaching and I am moving ahead!

Hi Cynthia, I am so glad that you found bariatric buddy group and that you have come out of hiding and lurking  into posting.  Here for a shoulder to share on.  The 5th will be here very soon.  Maybe you can join us for chat on monday evening.  I will make a formal post about it monday morning, along with a shortcut to the chat area.

We finally get to a spot in our lives where one has to do something.  Sounds like you got to that point.  Congrats on getting near to surgery time.  Hugs

Welcome Cynthia! Congrats on your soon to be surgery! Please feel welcome to jump into any conversations going on, or to start one of your own! Ask any questions you may have. Happy to have you with us!

Welcome to the group, Cynthia!  The number of people who have complications is miniscule, but they tell you because they have to cover their butts.  You'll be fine!
