Hi.

I'm Deb from N. Carolina. I started this whole process back in August after a visit to my regular doctor. After way too many years of yo-yo dieting and never getting the job done, it's all caught up to me. Now I'm heavier than I've ever been, my BP is on the rise and so is my cholesterol. My arthritis is terrible in my knees and ankles. I retired a couple years ago and I hate it because I can't do any of the things my husband and I talked about doing at this time in our lives. It's time to move forward.....

My surgery is scheduled for Nov.11th. I'm excited and scared at the same time. I'm hoping that others that are getting ready to have their surgery in November might be interested in connecting to create a support group. Let's make this journey together and be there to support one another no matter where we live or what our ages may be.

I've been looking at many of the other discussions and some are great, but I have a hard time keeping up with all of them in different places. I'm wondering if a group like this would make it easier to keep tract of whatever we want to talk about.

What do you think????

I look forward to hearing from folks.

Deb

To add someone as a friend... click on the person's username in their post... this will bring up their profile... at the bottom of the page it will say "ADD ME AS A FRIEND"... all you need to do is click on that... I hope this helps... I have already added several of you as friends... I think the person you are adding as a friend has to approve your friend request... so if you want to, please feel free to approve me as your friend!

I am scheduled for November 5th!! Nervous and hoping I am making the right decision! I'm having my surgery in Houston texas.

November 6 in Columbus, Ohio! Soooo nervous!

Sounds like there's a bunch of us getting ready for this journey. Those that are having additional procedures done along with the WLS have even more food for thought on their plates (bad pun) then the rest of us. I know that as their surgery dates arrive I'll have them all in my thoughts.

Still waiting for instructions on how to add someone as a friend. I'm one of the "techno challenged" ones.
