Topic: Looking for support friends :)
I live in Canada. near Toronto to be pretty precise.  I am looking for people that have already had the surgery RNY or that are waiting for the surgery (as I am) 

The more people and support we can have for each other the better.  It helps to hear different stories, different perspectives...good or bad.

I'm a people person and I'm looking forward to meeting/talking to as many new friends as possible :)

Hope to talk to lots of you soon

Robin :)

HI Rachael,
I thought I had responded to this. That's great! I was just approved last Thursday and my surgery date is 8/14. that would be great to go through the journey together. I'll be 35 in 2 weeks. So now it's time to run around to a bunch of dr. appointments.

 Hi my name is Rachael I live in dc and work in Alexandria VA. I found this post and request for a pen pal as I begin my weight loss journey. I am in process of insurance verification also. I have one last dietician appointment Friday and then my pre scheduling appointment the 24 th. my 51 st birthday is the 26 th. I gave myself to age 50 to do this wt loss thing on my own and I didn't so here I am ready to take the plunge. I started a blog Last week http://rabrijumo.blogspot.com/ feel free to check it out and comment if you want. I would love to have a pen pal going through the wt loss journey at the same time as me. Let me know if you are interested and good luck with your journey.

Hi. 140 lbs....that's fantastic!  I'm just beginning my journey. I had my oreintation yesterday (July 11, 2012)  I learned quite a bit from it.  My twin sister had this surgery back in Jan. this year and she's lost 90 lbs now and looking great. I need to lose about 120 to be at a healthy weight and I feel that this option may be the best option for me at this point of my life. Please stay in touch. I may have a bunch of questions before and after surgery. thanks
