Hi, my name is Rhonda and I live in West Columbia, TX. My surgeon is Dr. Robert Thompson and I am about 3 months pre-op. I have been overweight all of my life and lost weight over and over again but I have never kept it off. This is my new lease on life and I am very excited. I really enjoy making friends and would love to hear your stories. If you want a new friend that is going through the same thing or if you have had the surgery and can give me some tips, please feel free to email me ms.rhonda71@yahoo.com. Have a Blessed day!

Greetings from snowy North Texas.

I'm about 2 and a half weeks from having surgery and the best advice I can give is read, read, read. Do as much research as you possibly can in those 3 months and make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.

Good luck!

Thanks so much for the advice. I will take any I can get. Congratulations on your date! Are you nervous at all?
