Just a quick intro...

I just joined the group a few days ago and just wanted to take a sec to say hi.  I'm going in for my RNY at Highland Hospital in Rochester on Tuesday.  This site is awesome and I've learned so much.  I am kind of far from the local support group here, but love that I can meet people here who either have or are going through the same stuff I am.  I look forward to getting to know you all!

Welcome, Mandee!  I haven't been on this site long and I don't yet have my surgery scheduled.  This site is great support and full of information and great people.  You won't be alone here!  Nice to meet you!
I hope you dance with enthusiasm... and a million other things joyful!

Hi my name is Chris. Welcome to BB, you joined a very supportive group. This group has helped me learn more about Gastric Bypass and their thoughts on VSG. I'm personally leaning towards VSG but either one I'll be happy with. I hope you have a speedy recovery after Tuesday Surgery. Good luck with everything.

Thanks for the welcomes.  I've heard good things about the VSG.  I actually was going to have the Lap Band until I started reading horror stories from people who've had major complications and revision surgery.  I was scared about the rearranging that comes with the RNY, but in the end I think I made the right choice.  Good luck with whatever you choose.  I know you'll do great!

HI Mandee,
      Welcome to the group. You will fall in love with the people on this site. Info, support, and encouragement for all. I'm RNY and won't change a thing. I'm almost 6 months out and my life is already so much better.    Keep posting.   Looking forward to getting to know you.   Mag
