Smile Hi everyone!

Hi everyone! I am new here. I had my Roux En Y surgery on June 27th '07- a month later than originally planned due to the sudden onset of pneumonia. I went in at 227 pounds on a 5'2" frame and I am down 30 pounds already! I did develop an infection in the incision that they used the stapler in, so I spent the bulk of my summer nursing that little nuisance but I go back to work next week (I am a teacher) and it is just about healed.

I look forward to talking to some of you online and hearing your stories!
