Hi everyone,

Not sure where to introduce myself, so I started here. My name is Jonna. I live in Hawaii with my husband and 5 girls. I work at UH-Leeward College as a Health Information Technology Assistant and a student getting my AS in that field.

I am in the pre-op stage and my gastric bypass is scheduled for Jan. 3, 2014. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I decided that this will be a new healthy me for a new year! I look forward to getting to know you all and having a great support system.

Hi Jonna, I am hoping to have surgery in February. I am nervous and excited at the same time too. How exciting that your surgery is next week. Good luck and keep me posted on your progress.

Good luck on your surgery. I had lapband surgery in 9/13/13 and I'm down around 40 pounds! I still have a ways to go, but I've been doing really well!

I'm so happy that you've made the decision! You will have a very good year coming up! Congrats!
