Hey Yokioki! My name is Dekonte and I am new to this site. I was reading your profile and saw we are both young african american women, we weigh the same amt, also we are both having WLS soon! So that's a lot in common and I'm just looking for a friend so we can support each other. I am having my surgery within the next 3 wks and I'm so excited! I'm having RNY, which one are you having? Well I hope to hear from you soon and I hope all is well!
