Hello everyone,

I am new here and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 26 year old female from NH. I am 5'4 and my current weight is 241. I am going to be getting the gastric bypass. I have no co-morbidities so I am moving through the program rather quickly I start my 6 week lifestyle changes class that is required on Thursday. The only things I have left to do before setting a surgery date are a psych eval. And one more pre-op support group. Then I get to meet with the surgeon and set a date! I am beyond excited but a bit nervous all at once. I do have support from family and friends. I am so ready to start a better healthier life for me and my family. Thanks for reading. I love reading all the stories on here :-) feel free to chat!

Welome, @! I've only been on here a couple of months - started hanging out when I was waiting for my insurance approval - and I've found it to be incredibly helpful throughout the past couple of months. Good to have you here. Ask anything - there is basically nothing off limits. Cheers!

Thank you :-) good to know nothing is off limits! Have you had your surgery already?

I had my surgery 7 days ago. It's my one-week surgiversary!

That's awesome! Well congrats! How are you feeling? How are you doing with the post-op food phase?
