Hello everyone,

Im new here and glad to be a part of this community.

A little about myself...always been a curvy girl that developed very early. So, I always looked mature for my age. My weight started climbing after college, marriage, and children.

I have tried all means to lose weight but never seemed to maintain or keep it off for good. I made the decision to have rny surgery in August 2012 and so far I have had all my prerequisites. My last weigh in with my pcp will be Jan 21...so it will not be soon after that I will have surgery scheduled.

I have enjoyed reading the posts and learning as I go along. Good luck to everyone.

Welcome so glad you found us. Congrats on your decision to start this journey. I am happy that you will know soon when your surgery will be and the waiting and endless hoops to jump will be done. That is such a long drawn out process and unnerves us all. So again welcome and I know you will love it here.
