New here
Today I got my official surgery date- January 14! I couldn't be more excited or nervous! I have been reading these forums for months and they are very encouraging and supportive. I decided since my date is finally official that I would officially join this site too! Anyway, I am going to have a laparoscopic RNY and am so nervous now, it seems so soon, even though I've been working towards it for months. I am happy to be here and look forward to talking to everyone!
Welcome to OH and best wishes on your surgery. Read through the different post as you can you'll learn lots on Vitamins, hormone craziness after surgery, the 3 week "stall" and much more.
I also recommend you take lots of pictures and your measurements. It's really a great visual when you think you aren't losing fast enough or you go through the times of not losing. Oh and one more little tidbit keep the outfit you wear for your pre-op pictures, another great visual as you buy new clothes that fit and fitting in one leg of those pants was pretty dang cool.

Congrats on your surgery date. I am post op almost 3 weeks, down 32 pounds and doing well. I had Lap RNY 12/2/13 and was apprehensive too, as we all were in the beginning. The people here are great to answer questions, relate to you and for great encouragement. I look forward to hearing how it goes!
