I have been lurking around here for a really long time. I think I have a handfull of posts, that's it. I have found this site and this board SO encouraging and just filled with infromation and answers to my questions! Thanks!

So I had RNY last Friday, March 27th. Things are going pretty well, at least I think they are! I just wanted to introduce myself to the board!

This post itself is kinda random, but sometimes, that's how I am!

Looking foward to getting to know many of you!!

Welcome to the world of losers! I look forward to reading your posts, and although I'm kind of new, too (2 months from surgery), if I can help you at all, be sure to let me know!
