Hi I Am New

Hi All,

I am new to this and i think i have some how found my way on to a USA site oops!! :rolleyes:

hope you dont mind having me? I am from Rayleigh,Essex in England.

I am a 35 year old mother of 4 i have been following the route of getting a gastric bypass for 2 years now!

I have finally been approved by the nhs for my surgery which will be taking place on the 22/06/12.

I am very excited and nervous all in one go.i Have had to pack my kids of to my parents in Spain for a few weeks to give me a chance to recover as you can imagine having a 10,6,4,3 year old i am on the go all the time!

I really want to meet like minded people and be supported and be a supporter!!!

If you dont mind me being over the pond?

Much love to you all and hope all is well xxxxx :D

How very true. So where are you in the cycle of surgery I have 31 days till surgery for a rny gastric bypass. I am learning things every day but looking forward to feeling so much better about me and being able to do more! I am lucky my husband is very supportive or I wouldn't be able to do this alone. And now pleased to be meeting people who feel the same x
