Hello Everyone

[Sycaylor 6]

Hi, I'm Shirley and I'm new here. I have just had my pre-surgery consultation with my surgeon and he has scheduled my surgery for October 15, 2012. My insurance company has required me to jump throught all sorts of hoops since February and I think everything is now done and I can get approved. Keep your fingers crossed for me if you would.

I've just posted my profile here and I'm looking for a support buddy. I want to find someone who is at about the same spot or slightly ahead of me so that we can talk about concerns we have with the surgery. I'm having the RNY and know I will have all kinds of questions.

I live in Hot Springs, Arkansas and it would be great if some of you live near here and would like to have a walking or exercise group that we could do together. If any of you are interested, or would like someone to pair up with as we go through this, just email me. I think that I have set up the profile so that you can see my email address. If not, let me know and I'll figure out how to set it.

Wish each of you the best in your weight loss.

Hi Shirley. Welcome! I am slightly ahead of you in the process... by about 2 months... so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions. I am by no means an expert, but am happy to share what I know from my experiences. Best to you!

Welcome to the group

Thanks to all of you for your well wishes. I'm down to the final 2 weeks before surgery and of course haven't heard from the insurance company. I'm really excited about the surgery but a bid scared about the operation.
