Hello everyone! My name is Ginnett and i am having my gastric bypass on April 18th. I currently live in Rhode Island and after going to my doctors support group meetings i realized that there are so many people out there who are just like me! I am 24 years old and a mother of three! i am so glad that there is a website like this!

Welcome to the group Ginnett. I am thrilled that you posted an introduction. Surgery is just a few short weeks away for you. Attending support group meetings at the surgeon's office and here online helps with the process. I don't know what I would do without my frequent contacts with the group here online.

My surgery was about 1.5 years ago, and I am grateful for the changes that I have gone through. Life is so much better with less of me to cart around. Life is for living. Come share often, ask any and all questions. Nothing is off limits here. The positive support between members is what makes the group what it is. Let's lose together. Hugs

HI Ginnett....

Welcome to the group! My gastric bypass is scheduled for April 11th. I had the IVC Filter put in yesterday.

I started on the Liquid diet on Monday and so far so good :) I haven't really been as hungry as I thought I would be.

Look forward to getting to know you and hope to see you in chat on Monday Nights!
