Newbie

Hi everyone, I just wanted to take time to introduce myself... I am new to this site, and look forward to learning a lot about VSG and hopefully meeting some great people along the way!
I am meeting with a surgeon this week to discuss starting the program to begin my journey to wls, and I am beyond ready to start this new chapter in my life!

Welcome this is a great place to be and there is a wealth of information here!!!!!

Thanks Joannalee! Yes there is lots of info as you can see I was up till about 4 in the morning trying to read as much as I could

HI Christine,

You are going to love this forum. It is always rocking and rolling. The people here are always generous with their personal info/advise. I have found answers to everything I have asked.

One of the great things about this forum is it is very active and people here are coming from all phases of the VSG/WLS journey.

Good Luck to you. 

Best,

Sharon

 Congrats on starting your new life! Glad you found us! This is a great tool to have! I will be having my surgery on March 7th and will keep everyone updated! 

I'm a newbie myself and come to the boards a lot and there is SO MUCH information here!  One of the things I did was to look at the complications board and read some of the posts from people who have had problems.  Not that they will stop me from having this surgery, but it's good to know the other side of this also - what people have gone through and the possible problems.  But don't spend too much time there because it can get kind of depressing.

But this board has some wonderful, helpful people on it and they are very congratulatory when something good happens to you and helpful if you need advice.

Welcome to the group!!

I'm fairly new, only been on a couple of months but have found out so much information that sometimes it makes my head spin! lol  It's great to arm yourself with everything you can find out. Everyone here is great and will help you with any questions along the way. I'm in my last month of a 6 month pre-surgery mandated diet per my insurance. Will be watching for your progress in this journey also. Welcome aboard the ride of your life!! 

Welcome Christine!   The forum is a place to get a lot of your questions answered and for you to share your experience.  As a helpful tool, the search text box (upper right corner) can be used to find information on specific topics discussed previously on this board.  This helped me in my research.  Good luck on your journey!
