Hello All Newbie Here

Rahsheeda-  Great to have you join in with us NC folks! You'll love everyone - tons of support and very knowledgeable people.  Look forward to seeing you around the boards! 

Welcome Rasheeda!  I am also new to the group. I started the process in May 2007 and I can officially say that everything is in to BCBS and I should have a decision (according to my surgeon) within the next week.  This is a great site to meet cool folks who are all going through (or have been through) what we're going through. Welcome and best of luck to you on your approval process! -Chareen

Kick off your shoes and throw up your feet. This board is a wealth of knowledge at your fingertips. Everyone I've met here is so nice. Good luck on your WLS adventure. Sounds like you are doing the hardest part right now... the paper trail. Have a good week.

Wecome Rahsheeda! I am a newbie too. I started the process in June 2007 (yep, last month). Everyone here is wonderful. I'm sure you're going to love it here. Linda

Thank you all for your warm welcomes, I am definately going to enjoy this journey to a better and healthier me and I am glad to have such great support at home with family and friends as well as you all on this board. I look forward to sharing this journey with you all.  God Bless... Rahsheeda
