Welcome!!! We love newbies on this board!!!!! The LW board has been my only support system and practically everything I know I have learned on here. There are a bunch of great posters on this board. It's strange but when I want to share something my LW's are the first people I think of.

Welcome to the LW Board. Hope you will stay on the boards with us. This is my only support since my surgeon is 4 hours away. This group has always been very supportive and has great advise.
Good luck with your approval.
I would try to exercise some, even if it is just walking a short while. Try to get your body in the best shape you can before the surgery and get ready for the ride of a lifetime!!
