Hello there

I am a newbie to the group. I am currently in a program required for approval for surgery. I am 6 months in and am hoping to get the surgery around Jan. I have decided that I need to start getting serious about everything now. I see a Dietician once a month, a counselor biweekly, and take bariatric support classes weekly. I have been trying out different protein supplements and been practicing eating smaller amounts more frequently. I am looking for some constant support. I go to a meeting once a month but would love some more accessible support.

Hello and welcome to the bariatric Buddy group! So glad to have you join us. Sounds like you are just about done jumping through the hoops Yeay!!!!!!  Wishing you all the best on getting your Jan date!.

Ask anything you want or need to. Read past posts, as there is a wealth of information on these pages, and try to join us on Monday evenings for our group chats. We are here to help you in any way we can, so don't be shy! It sounds like you are seeking out a good support system, and thats awesome, as thats one of the keys to our long term success.

Let us know how we can help.

Again welcome! (By the way...what is your first name?)

welcome! I am a newbie who is just a couple weeks "older" than you. I have to agree with Patrece, there is quite a wealth of info shared on this board.

tell us some more about yourself - where are you located and what finally brought you to consider WLS?
