Default new to the site and introducing myself
Hi everyone. I am new to this site and I thought I would introduce myself. I live in eastern KY. I am having a gastric bypass done on Nov 2, 2010. I am very nervous and very excited. I have already started my liquid diet and I would love to hear about all your stories. I have been reading and reading and researching everything I can find on WLS. I feel like the more I find out the more excited I get or more questions I come up with. I really can't put into words what I am feeling right now, my emotions are all jumbled up inside of me. I really look forward to getting to know y'all and really hope to find some freinds that have been through this or are going though this that can relate to me before and after I have my surgery. I don't have much of a support system here at home so I thought I would turn to the "net" to see what I can find. I was so happy to find this site. I look forward to getting to know some of you. My doctors have been great but maybe I won't have to bug them with every little question I come up with now that I have found this site. Thanks

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Hello and welcome to the family. Glad you found us. If you have questions just ask. I bet you will get an answer. Good luck on your journey. It is quiet some trip. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself. It is normal to be nervous. All of us were. It will be here before you know it. It isnt easy but it is so worth what you have to do to be able to be healthy and happy.

Well, there are only a few hundred of us who've been there, done that, and love to help others with it! Your biggest problem is not the surgery, it's getting to know us all! WE are now your family support group!!

You want to chase those young un's around the house and get down on the floor and rowdy with them? (Sure you do!!) You will not believe how much fun you're going to have with them next summer!!!!

You know how to do research, you know how to follow directions - you should do just fine!! There is an enormous treasure of wisdom in our archives! All you have to do is a little keyword search and you will soon realize that you have no new questions. Everything's been asked at one time or another. But you can ask it again to get an answer in real time. We don't bite!!

Welcome to the RR family!!
