Hi NYMom222,

I am new on here as well. I just had my surgery date set for Apr 28th. I am so excited but really really nervous. Can you tell me what I should expect the first few weeks after the surgery please? Maybe calm this ol' gal down....lol

Hi Angela,

I am new here myself. I can say I feel your pain. I just met with my surgeon today and we actually set the date for Apr 28th, needless to say I am really excited but a little nervous too. I know that what we are about to do is going to benefit our health and we are going to feel sooooo much better. I know what will help me is this forum and so I hope it helps you as well.

I get them sometimes too... I just delete. Don't really know how to report them or I would.

Hi Angela, welcome. Most the people on this site are either considering weight loss surgery and researching it, are working on getting approved, or have had it. You didn't mention if you were thinking about that. You are welcome to hang around either way.

Best thing is to spend a lot of time reading other peoples posts and see their responses. Read people's stories. You can search topics with that little magnifying glass in the upper right.

I am not quite 2 years out from my surgery, it has been quite a journey... no regrets. It has been awesome and this site has helped me a lot.

Good Luck!

As I posted last week... no Easter shenanigans for me as I was at a wedding last week and had enough shenanigans there...hahaha

Highest ever: 420+

20 months out, trying to maintain and find my 'happy place'.

Am doing the RNY Board challenge of All Meat All Week / All critter version... it will be interesting to see the results of that....LOL.
