New here.

Hello all, Thank you Kathy B for the help.

I started my journey for WLS thanks to the influence of family who had it done many years ago. I did consider it but was still trying to lose weight and keep it off on my own.  I have only found my self gaining much more weight than I started out with.  I have made my first step and that is scheduling my Orientation for April 19th. Nice how it is after my vacation week . God willing things work out for me and it will be a smooth process and transition in my life.

For everyone on BB I wish all much success. God Bless.

Cool, it works.  Glad to see your post my friend.  Know that you are among folks who have walked the same path.  What is your first name?  Which surgery are you considering?

There are chat sessions each monday evening, see the post  for the shortcut to chat.  We discuss the needs of those present during chat.  Some are able to stay for the whole hour, others pop in and out as they can. 

Looking forward to getting to know you better through lots of postings. 

Alright I'm still waking up lol. My name is Christopher and I'm considering RNY. VSG sounds great too but I like the higher Success rate of RNY. Information on both is greatly appreciated .

Welcome to the group, Christopher; I'm glad you found us.  Kathy is great as are all the rest of the group members.  Make yourself at home and ask as many questions as you want or need to.

Good luck!

 Hi Christopher,

Please ask any and all questions, everyone on this board is so helpful and positive.  The range of experience will help you through the process.

Best of Luck!
Lourdes
