New to the group

Hi everyone, My name is Bobbie. I am 31 years old and have been battling with weight problems for the past 9 years. I am a wife, mother, business owner, and student my plate is extremely full. I am scheduled for RNY on October 17, 2011 I have been trying to have WLS for three years and now I have the chance and I am feeling so many emotions, nervous, excited, scared, and overwhelmed.

Well congrats on surgery and you are completely normal to feel all those things. :) we all did before surgery.

Congrats Bobbie, surgery is just around the corner.  Let me welcome you to the group.  You will find support here, just come share your journey and we will share ours.  Take is easy this weekend, pack your lip balm, a pillow and keep hydrated.  Looking forward to sharing the loser's bench with you.  Always room for more on this side.  Hugs

Thanks everyone. I recieved a call today that I have recieved my final clearance from my insurance company. I am so ready and I must say I feel prepared.

Good luck to you! I pray you have a fast recovery! I felt all those emotions as well before my surgery, it's perfectly normal. Just take it easy, and best wishes for ya!
