still a new member

EEK!!  You guys are a tough crowd...I am katsi67, or Tam, to my friends.  I would love to hear from as many of you as i can.  I am going to have surgery in about three weeks and i am terrified!!!  i have no real support at home, no real friends to speak of so would appreciate some input! Thanks. :)

Welcome Tam!  This is a good group - just a bit quiet as it seems people have been busy!
What type of surgery are you going to have?  Hopefully your doctor has a support group for after WLS?

hi there!! I am going to have RNY in the first week of December, i was told.   Yes my doc has a support group that he requires people to go to.  I live in Michigan.  Yes, i have been told that this is a very good group.  Thanks for writing back. :)

It is a good group.  I just went to the OH event in New York last month and met many of the members!  Had a great and informative time. 

OH I bet that was a great time!  I have met many people in the chat room, but have not met them in person.   Mind you, some of them I would not want to meet. LOL!   Tell me about your wls experience.  You have had surgery already?   Was it RNY?  How did you do on the liquid diet part?  I also wonder about nutrition after surgery.  It is so much to take in.  How did you handle that??  Well, write when you get a minute.  Take care and nice to hear from you.  Sincerely, Tam (katsi)

I'm so sorry..I sent you a private message and also my husband had emergency gall bladder surgery and my world went a little weird for about a week.  I'm working on a solution to saving this group OK?  We are here for you I promise!
Hugs, Y

  thank you, Yvonne.  I hope to hear from you again soon,  Tam
