 Hi My name is Tampa and I'm new to Bariatric Buddies.  I decided to join your group because everyone seemed so nice and supportive of one another.  So thanks for being here.  

Today I scheduled my RNY surgery for March 28th, called my husband, family, and friends so excited to share the "good news"!  Then this evening it hit me:  1) I only have two weeks to eat my favs until the ugly breakup  2) I only have four weeks until my life changes.  I see this as a win-win situation, so I'm not nervous yet, 

I live in Northern Virginia and work in DC.  I'm married with 5 children and love being both a wife and mother.

And a warm welcome to you, Tampa! You will love it here on BB and you will be absolutely and pleasently stupefied by the results of your surgery. Best of luck and see you on the other side!
