Hi everyone, my name is Michele. I live in Minnesota and I'm going throught the process and hoping to get a date soon and I can't wait. I started the process in October 2009 but had to put it on hold due to an issue with my knee. Just waiting for them to review my previous information. I'm 42, married and a mom to an 11 year old daughter. I so have my family's support and we are all ready for this journey to begin. Thank you in advance for all the knowledge you bring to the group.

PS I'm planning on the RNY

Hi Newbie!
Welcome to our group. Feel free to ask any question you have. Remember we all started out as newbies too!

What a ride the WLS journey is! Wish I would have done it sooner.

Welcome to our group here! Let us know when you expect to have your RNY. It does take a bit to jump the hoops, but in the end it is well worth it! Glad to hear you have the supprt of your family. That helps a lot!

I am 43. have 2 kids both young adults, 22 and 24. I have 3 granbdbabies ages 4, almost 2, and 14 days (new guy on the block...lol) i have 2 dogs as well, which are certain they are not dogs at all.

Had my RNY July of 2008 and have gone from a tight 24 to an 8 in pants, a 2 xl shirt to a medium and from 270 to 153. I am at a normal BMI, and my wls surgeon has actually ordered me to stop losing... never thought I'd hear that.. haha!

Looking forward to traveling this journey with you.

Welcome! I'm fairly new here (to this group) as well. I am also waiting to get a date for RNY. I have my next visit and classes this Thursday. So hopefully I can find out more then. But I don't think I will know about a surgical date until sometime in September (for possibly October)

Looking forward to getting to know you!

Jennifer - Starting the whole process all over again and ready this time!
