Anyone have any advice for a newbie??

Hello Mistyn and welcome to BariatricPal.

I would say the best advice I could give a newbie is to read, read, read. This forum is a great resource for information relating to any WLS. There are many sub-forums here, too. I find that using a mobile device is good if I know where I want to go, but if I am just browsing around, I find the web browser experience better. It is just easier to search using keywords and review the results.

As I just mentioned, there is a search function here, so pretty much any topic or thought you may have has been posted and you can immediately get a wealth of responses. Of course, if you are not able to find what you are looking for, post a question.

Again, welcome to the board and congratulations on your new journey!
