Hello Everyone, I am a newbie!

Hi, my name is Candi from Spring, Tx. I am 31 yrs old. 5'1 and pushing 230lbs. I have been approved for RNY and am scheduled for surgery on April 22nd. I've been stalking the forums silently as a ghost for awhile while I have gone through the pre-surgery insurance approval process but figured now that I am a go, I should join the family.
