Hi Ty--

My name is Tracie. I'm a relative newbie, as well..I've been a member for a short while..Still trying to get acclimated to the site.

Hi

In the short time I've been here, I have found A LOT of useful information. I think you will come to like this site very much!!

You are sooo right...I have found a wealth of information on this site...It is pretty good.. I just wish there were more actual chats going on..

 Hello everyone. My name is Sarah. I'm fairly new to all this. I'm still going through all the doctor appts and getting all my clearances.

Hello Sarah, & welcome!!! I'm still in the pre-approval stage myself. Have you gotten a date for surgery? If so, which surgery are you leaning towards?

 I don't have a date yet but close to getting one. I'm having the gastric bypass done.

Oh ok!! Good luck with everything & I hope you get approved real soon!! We have to find our places on the loser's bench

 Hi, 

I'm pre op. Refinding this site and all the wonderful resources. I'm getting clearances and seeing many doctors right now. I also have to lose 14 lbs so I'm working on that and starting to make the changes to my diet that they recommend. It's been kind of hard, I haven't thought so much about what I eat and when I eat and how I eat. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. I spend a lot of time on you tube now at nigh****ching vlogs of wls patients and trying to keep my inspiration and motivation high.
