Hello everyone!
Hello! I am new to this site. I am interested in having a gastric bypass done. I sent in my paperwork a couple of weeks ago, but I haven't heared anything back yet. I pray that I can get it done. I was introduced to this site by a co-worker that had the proceedure done. I love the way that I can get feedback from REAL people whom had it done and not what actors say on T.V.

Hi KeeKee,
Welcome aboard.
The waiting game's a bummer...I'm still doing it...but I know that, in the end, the payoff will be well worth it.
Good luck!

Welcome to the forum Kee Kee. So glad you found us. The waiting is hard but your day will come. Just try to be patient and use this time to learn all that you can. Ask a lot of questions. Don't be afraid. I promise there will always be someone who has an answer for you.

Hi, Keekee!!
Welcome!! Everything Will Work Out Just Fine. It's Really Is Hard To Play "the Waiting Game" But It Will Be Worthwhile In The End. I've Just Recently Found This Site,too, But I Forgot To Write Down The Information On How To Return To It.(i Was Considering One Other Site To Join As Well) Now I've Found Everyone Again, And Once Again I Will Benifit From The Support Of Others While Giving My Support, Too. That's What It's About, Exchanging Stories, And Helping Others Along The Way No Matter Where You Are In The Journey. Keep Your Spirits Up And Good Luck. Blondie
